Puppies generally need the following veterinary care after their adoption:

12 Weeks: Distemper/Parvo Vaccination completed at the veterinarian of adopter's choice.     

16 Weeks: Distemper/Parvo & Rabies Vaccinations completed at the veterinarian of the adopter's choice.       

6 Months: Spay/Neuter surgery.  **    

Yearly thereafter: All dogs need yearly wellness exams performed by a veterinarian as well as booster vaccinations.        

**Spay/Neuter surgeries cost between $200-$400 for a neuter surgery and $400-$600 for a spay surgery in the FM Area. Wellness visits can run from $75 to $150 for each visit. If you are thinking of adopting a puppy, it's a good idea to research these costs before adopting by calling the veterinarian of your choice. 

** Origami has a small umbilical hernia. If it is present at the time of the neuter it will need to be repaired at the adopter's expense. It will likely add about an additional $100 or so to the cost of the neuter, depending on the vet clinic.

Foster Home Feedback 

12/4/24 Foster Feedback: Origami is growing very fast and food-motivated.  We use a slow feeder for meals. He has mastered going up and down the stairs. He will go in his kennel with a treat and sleeps in there at night or when we're away from home. We are working on potty training, he isn't a fan of the cold weather lately, so we keep training pads handy. He plays well with our other foster pup and friend's dog. He has done really well with going to events and meeting new people. He wasn't fazed by the door bell or our family members at Thanksgiving. Origami is till very much a puppy and we are mindful of what he is chewing on, everything is interesting - especially fuzzy items. Origami loves a good nap and is an expert at cuddles.

11/1/24 Foster Feedback: Origami is thriving! He definitely has puppy energy, loves to eat, sleep and play. Everything is a chew toy! He really digs anything with soft fuzzies from blankets, pillows to slippers. He's had his vaccinations, wellness check and was microchipped this week. We learned Origami has an umbilical hernia that will need to be repaired at the time of neutering. He's transitioning from soft food to kibble.  He eats fast so a slow feeder is a must with supervision. Potty training includes pee pads and he is now cleared for outdoor time. Origami sleeps in a pen with his teddy bear. We leave a sleep machine on with white noise for nighttime. He usually sleeps till 6:30 am, requires morning cuddles before work. 

We work from home, so Origami is a bit spoiled with not being in his pen till bed time or when we're out and about. He’s done well being in his pen for about 5-6 hour time  periods.
