Every care is taken by the K-Nine-Care dog rescue to ensure that the animal you take home is in good health and we are happy to offer any advice that you may need. You are advised to register your adopted pet with your own veterinary surgeon as soon as possible.

Please note that Veterinary Care and the associated costs will be the responsibility of the Owners from the adoption date.
