What kind of vet care do they receive?
- All dogs will be brought up to date on their Distemper combination series (including Leptospirosis), Bordetella, and Rabies.

- All dogs will have a fecal check upon intake to ensure the health of the animal and any other animals it may live with or come in contact with.
