Vaccinations
Cry For Help Rescue recommends a 3 year rabies after the initial rabies shot the animal receives. There has been a lot of research on the hazards of over vaccinating. Because we do not know the history of the animals we take in, our vets require us to give them a one-year rabies vaccine, after that (for their health) they should receive a 3-year rabies. Please read about vaccinosis on the web and be an informed dog owner. We also recommend a yearly heartworm test (because of our changing weather we are inundated with mosquitoes, which is the only way a dog can get heartworm). We have treated a significant number of new cases because of this. If you take your dog to the dog park (not recommended), they are subject to a number of parasites because of the droppings left on the ground. We highly recommend yearly fecals. Thank you
