At Dessin, we take each adoption seriously. We make every effort to ensure that the match between the animal and your family is one that will bring happiness to everyone involved.

Spay and Neuter: No pet leaves our shelter without being spayed or neutered -- even kittens and puppies as young as 8 weeks old. By spaying and neutering our adoptees, we are trying to make ourselves part of the solution to the pet overpopulation problem.
Ten Point Behavioral Assessment: A formal, ten point behavioral assessment is conducted on each dog to attempt to identify aggression or behavior problems, as well as to learn about the dog's personality, with the ultimate purpose being to help us determine what the best type of home would be for each particular dog/puppy, in order to help raise the odds of a successful match.
Health Care Program: All animals surrendered to our shelter are started immediately on a vaccination and flea, mite and deworming program. Cats and kittens are also tested for feline leukemia.
Microchips: Our pets also go out the door microchipped (registration is included in the adoption fee.)

Adoption Fees
