Adopting is a wonderful option for bringing a new dog into your family. There are numerous dogs available at shelters, rescues, human societies and SPCA organizations all around the state and the country for that matter. If you aren’t looking for any particular breed, start by going online to local rescues and shelters and viewing their current dogs available for adoption. Find out why the dog is up for adoption (i.e. does he get along with kids, does he get along with other pets), check into the dog’s health history, ask about the application process and costs (some rescues charge for transportation and even first vaccines and spay or neutering procedures). When you are ready to bring a dog home and find the one you like, notify the agency and start the adoption process. Take your adopted dog in for a first time visit with your Aurora, CO veterinary clinic too. Schedule an appointment today!
