As mentioned above, retail costs for the same services provided in adoption, greatly exceed your adoption cost. Some retail costs on a pet accquired from alternative sources which do not included the services we provide, are as follows.

VACCINATIONS
Puppies usually are vaccinated at two, three, and four months of age. Unvaccinated adult dogs receive two rounds of vaccinations about three weeks apart. After that, dogs usually receive boosters annually.
The basic shots -- for distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and sometimes leptospirosis and coronavirus -- usually are administered together in a combination vaccine. The rabies vaccine is given separately in accordance with local laws.
- The average cost for adult dog vaccinations ranges from $20 to $150 or more in the first year, and from $30 to $200 or more per year afterward.
- The cost varies based on geographic region, which vaccinations are given and whether they are done at a veterinarian's office or a low-cost vaccination clinic run by a local government or humane organization.
- Extra vaccinations usually cost about $30 to $60 or more each. more...

This type is by far the most popular because it prevents both fleas and ticks -- and sometimes other pests -- and is safe and easy to use. It also kills adult fleas and prevents new larvae from developing. more...
