The animals available for adoption come to us in a variety of ways. Many of our rescues were abandoned, stray, abused or were no longer able to stay with their current human companion due to extenuating circumstances. All animals are examined and their health monitored while they are in foster care homes. However, due to the stressful situations under which many of these animals come to us, there is always the chance that an animal is incubating a disease without showing clinical signs. We require a visit to your veterinarian within three business days of the adoption date. WAF believes these animals to be in good health, but does not guarantee the health of any animal or assume any financial responsibility for future veterinary costs.
