Veterinary Partnership

While adoption fees vary from dog to dog, every Heading Home Dog Rescue adoption includes valuable veterinary care and preventive services. Each dog is examined by a board-certified veterinarian, dewormed, current on flea prevention, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Our goal is to give every dog the healthiest possible start on their journey home.
