other arrangements are deemed correct. This fee is to cover cost of medical

We assure the applicant that, to the best of our knowledge, the adopted Pekingese was evaluated by a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, de-wormed, neuter/spayed, checked for heartworm, and immunized (including rabies). If the adopter is unable to keep the animal, it is to be returned to
this program.
