We recommend that you keep your newly adopted pet isolated from other pets until your veterinarian confirms its health. Make sure your pets at home are also vaccinated. We are unable to treat resident pets that have been exposed to illness from your newly adopted pet.

It is not the intent of ACDC to adopt out an animal with any illness or unknown pre-existing condition. Any conditions before or at the time of adoption are noted in the medical history sent home with the adopter. All dogs and cats are sterilized, vaccinated, microchipped, and given anti-parasitics while at the shelter. ACDC is not responsible for illnesses or injuries beyond our control that arise after adoption.
