$7,200 |
This amount is $600 per month. This includes an initial veterinary evaluation of abandoned/stray & abused animals. Necessary medical attention, vaccinations, de-worming and pest control is provided as needed and the animal is spayed or neutered before adoption as well. This also includes the pet food and meds to support the animals in the foster homes until the animal is adopted. We estimate 500 animals were processed in our adoption program in 2009. This does not include emergency transportation to the University Clinic in Heredia, orthopedic operations or any other special and/or expensive treatments which are funded by donations, case by case, by individuals. |
