PYOMETRA
Pyometra is a uterine infection that develops in undesexed female dogs and cats after a heat cycle. It is a deadly condition that requires emergency surgery costing between $1000-$2000. An unspayed female dog has a 1 in 4 chance of developing this deadly disease if not spayed. This is estimated to increase by 20% every time she has another litter. By us desexing her for free - irradicates the chance of her dying from Pyometra

All applicants are put through an intense application before being able to adopt one of our puppies, so you can be confident good homes are found for each puppy and if you want to surrender the mother, we desex her for free and will rehome her as well. And above all else - we UNDERSTAND, so we are here to help you through a safe, private no judgement environment.
