Frequently Asked questions
Are your puppies/kittens spayed or neutered before adoption?
They are not. We wait to spay and neuter our puppies and kittens until they are around 16-20 weeks of age. This procedure is included in the adoption fee and is completed by our trusted medical team at Jewell Animal Hospital.
What is included in the adoption fee?
All of our adoption fees include vaccines up to the point of adoption, spay/neuter, microchip, and de-worming. Vaccines and medical care that are needed after the point of adoption are not included unless otherwise specified.
Do you adopt out of state?
We do! However, we do not offer shipping and we do require that an adopter meet with their animal prior to adopting. Therefore, you must be able to come to our facility to adopt. Please note that puppies and kittens need to be brought back to our facility to be spayed or neutered. You can have the procedure done out of state, but we will not reimburse you or adjust your adoption fee, and we do require proof that the procedure was completed.
Do you have a walk-through facility?
We do not, we ask that you contact our Adoption Coordinator to set up an appointment. (At this time, all of the communication for our rescue is done through e-mail: judysforgottenjewells@yahoo.com)
We ask that you choose up to two animals to meet with when scheduling your appointment. Thank you for your cooperation!
What are your adoption requirements?
We do not have a set criteria for adoption requirements, however, we do have a general set of expectations put in place by our adoption staff.
A pet I'm interested in has a different adoption fee than those listed on your site, why is that?
Our adoption fees listed on our website are to be used as a rough guide. Adoption fees can vary for many reasons, any fees listed on a pet's Adopt-A-Pet or Petfinder profile are going to be the most accurate. For any questions about our adoption fees, please contact our adoption team.
