Preventive Care

• Vaccination
  Every animal adopted from Heartland has been spayed or neutered and received up-to-date vaccinations before they are adopted. While adoption fees, donations, and other fund raising cover these expenses, there just isn?t funding in our budget to cover out of the ordinary expenses.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  : Up to date shots/vaccinations for the pet's age, deworming, Heartworm test (dogs over 6 months), FIV/FeLeuk test(cats), microchip, spay/neuter and includes a free vet exam within 2 weeks after adoption. All animals are spayed or neutered before adoption.

Surgery

• Spaying and Neutering
  We are excited to announce the opening of the Rush-Gilbert Spay and Neuter Clinic at Heartland Animal Shelter! This brand new, fully equipped clinic was made possible by the kind and generous endowment of Sharon and Jerry Rush. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Since the clinic’s opening in April of 2008, over 1,000 spay/neuter surgeries have been performed. Heartland would like to thank Dr. Kristine Preiser and Dr. Herbert Preiser for their endless volunteer hours performing the much needed surgeries. Heartland would also like to thank dedicated volunteers Michelle Yaryan and Cathy Vaughn for their hard work setting up the new clinic as well as their ongoing leadership and coordination efforts scheduling surgeries as well as volunteers to work at the clinic.

Lab and X-Rays

• Microchipping
  Adoption fees are based on the cost to administer shots,vaccinations, medications, microchips and spay and neuter rescued pets. We can only help our current pets and future pets when additional donations are made. As a private shelter, Heartland operates with income provided by adoption fees and donations from the public. We receive no government funding.

General Pet Care
