What happens to an animal that is surrendered?
A. An animal that is surrendered is vaccinated, wormed, and given a rabies shot upon arrival at the Shelter. All animals receive the proper vaccination(s) for their species, such as DHLLP and rabies. In addition cats may be checked for feline leukemia and both dogs and cats are checked for worms. If not already spayed or neutered, they will be spayed or neutered in our Shelter as soon as possible by one of our veterinarians. For obvious reasons, Pennsylvania law prohibits any animal from being adopted from our Shelter until that animal is spayed or neutered.
