Health Standards

PACT believes very strongly in providing top rate care to our animals, which is why our adoption fees are almost always exceeded by our veterinary bills.

• All animals receive a complete general examination and are tested and then treated for communicable diseases, including parasites (worms, fleas).

• Standard vaccinations include distemper combo and booster shots, to be current at time of adoption.  Animals over four months of age will also be vaccinated for rabies, which is required by law.

• Cats are tested for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) , Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and feline heartworm.

• Puppies over 6 months of age and all adult dogs are tested for heartworm.

• All puppies and dogs are on monthly heartworm preventative and flea control products.

• All animals are spayed/neutered BEFORE they are released to adopters.

• All animals are microchipped.

• Many of our animals (especially our seniors) have had extensive veterinary procedures, including blood panels, dentals, thyroid checks, x-rays, ultrasounds, and other surgeries.

We are able to provide top-rate care thanks to our compassionate veterinarians and donations from the public.
