· Enjoying life more: With all the benefits of pet adoption, this one is obvious.
· Helping others: Adopting a pet provides a loving, forever home.
The adoption fee includes spay or neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea treatment, heartworm test for dogs 6 months and older, feline aids and leukemia test for cats, Lee County pet license for pets 3 months and older, microchip ID, and a 10-day health guarantee.
