Upon arrival to OLBH all of our animals are spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, fecal tested, wormed, receive age appropriate vaccinations and a complete physical exam by our veterinarian. They are tested and placed on a monthly heartworm/flea/tic preventative. Each of them are kept up to date on vaccines and any other medical care they may require while they are here with us.
Once you've found your new furry family member, we require an adoption application be completed which you can do here on our site. The application is reviewed, references are contacted and then you are approved or denied. If your application is approved a pre-adoption exam is scheduled with our veterinarian (depending upon the length of time the kid has been with us) and a home visit is schedule with you and your family to ensure our girls/boys are going to safe environment and the right one for their individual personalities. The adoptee is brought along to the home visit and if everything falls into place they get to stay with their new family. The adoption fee is due at that time and an adoption contract between yourself and our facility will be completed. All of their medical paperwork, Shelter Care Insurance information, tags and the following months application of preventatives will also be provided.

Exceptions may be made for those residing in an apartment depending upon the animal of choice. Underground fencing may be acceptable again depending upon the animal of choice.
