Once the rescued animals have arrived at our safe home foundation shelter, they are visually assessed by a vet and quickly monitored for contagious diseases before being admitted. They are then taken to an assessment room for a more detailed diagnosis and, from there, proceed to whichever area of the hospital is relevant to their needs.
