TOP 3 REASONS TO SPAY/NEUTER YOUR CHIHUAHUA:

• It helps to reduce companion animal overpopulation. Most countries have a surplus of companion animals and are forced to euthanize or disregard their great suffering.  The surplus is in the millions in the United States. 
• Sterilization of your Chihuahua will increase his/her chance of a longer healthier life. Altered animals have a decreased risk of mammary gland tumors/cancer, prostate cancer, perianal tumor, pyometria and uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers
• Sterilization of your Chihuahua makes him/her a better pet, reducing his/her urge to roam and decrease the risk of contracting diseases or getting hurt as they roam. Surveys indicate that as many as 84% of all dogs hit by cars are unaltered.

Benefits of Spay/Neuter for your Chihuahua Puppy

           Benefits of spaying (Females)

• No heat cycles, therefore males won’t be attracted
• Less desire to roam
• Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian, uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated, especially if done before the first heat cycle
• Reduces the number of unwanted puppies
• Helps your dog live longer and healthier lives

           Benefits of Neutering (Males) 

• Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying or marking
• Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in fights or auto accidents
• Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated and decreases incidence of prostate disease
• Reduces the number of unwanted puppies
• Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
• Helps your dogs live longer and healthier lives

Permanent ownership of this dog is contingent upon your compliance with this Addendum.  Proof of the spay / neuter must be received  within fourteen (14) days after surgery.  In the event that the dog’s health or size does not allow this agreement to be honored, Bella’s Little Angels must be provided with a statement from your veterinarian that this dog is not yet in physical or emotional condition for surgery.  Based upon the veterinarian’s evaluation of this dog the buyer will contact the veterinarian and establish the earliest date that the procedure can be performed. The buyer will notify Bella’s Little Angels of this amendment in writing, at which time all other conditions of the agreement will apply and be enforced.

This is the responsibility of  the buyer, not the veterinarian, to ensure that Bella’s Little Angels has received verification that the surgery has been performed.  Failure to comply with this agreement within one (1) year, unless otherwise agreed to in writing will be considered a breach of Contract and  buyer, or their agent will transport the puppy back to Bella’s Little Angels and will not be entitled to a refund.

 I understand that this spay / neuter agreement is an agreement that the puppy will not produce a litter of puppies either as purposely bred or by accidental breeding.  I also agree that should the puppy not be altered that the buyer will return said puppy to Bella’s Little Angels with no refund.

 What Pet Owners Need to Know About Rabies Vaccinations in New York State

(Effective November 20, 2002, this information sheet must be provided by pet dealers to consumers upon point of sale of cats, dogs, and ferrets.)

State law requires rabies vaccinations (shots) for all cats, dogs and domesticated ferrets! (Note: Ferrets are illegal in New York City.)

Where can I get my pet vaccinated?

All counties (excluding New York City counties) are required to provide a free vaccination clinic every four months. Contact your county health department for the schedule in your area. Rabies vaccinations are also available from your veterinarian. If you have questions about new vaccines developed specifically for cats and for pets at younger ages, contact your veterinarian.

When should my pet receive its first rabies vaccination?

The law requires that your pet’s first rabies vaccination be given no later than four months  (three months in New York City) after her date of birth. Many rabies vaccines are licensed for use at three months, although some may be given at younger ages.

When should my pet receive its second rabies vaccination?

Your pet should receive its second rabies vaccination within one year after the first vaccination. The second rabies shot and all shots thereafter are sometimes called booster shots.

After my pet gets its second rabies shot, when is the next booster shot due?

After the second rabies shot, you need to get additional booster shots either annually or every three years, depending on the type of vaccine administered.

What proof will I have that my pet received its rabies shots?

The veterinarian, or a person under the veterinarian’s supervision, will provide you with a certificate as proof that your pet has been vaccinated. The veterinarian’s office will also keep a copy of your pet’s vaccination certificate. The law requires the veterinarian to provide the vaccination certificate to any public health official for any case involving your dog, cat or ferret that may have been exposed to rabies, or in any case of possible exposure of a person or another animal to rabies.

What if my pet needs to be taken to the veterinarian?

Whenever you bring your pet to a veterinarian, she/he will verify if the animal is up to date on its rabies shots. If the animal is not up to date on its rabies shots or exempt as stated below, or if the veterinarian cannot find proof of the animal’s rabies vaccination history, you may request your pet be vaccinated at that time.

If my pet bites a person, does it have to be euthanized (put to sleep)? *

If your pet bites a person and you wish to avoid euthanizing and testing it for rabies, it must be confined and observed for ten days. If your pet is not up to date on its rabies shots, the ten-day confinement/observation period must take place, at the owner’s expense, at an appropriate facility such as an animal shelter, veterinarian’s office, or kennel. If your pet is up to date on its rabies shots, the county health department may allow the ten-day confinement/observation period to take place in your home. During the ten-day confinement period, the county or a designated party must verify that your pet is under confinement and observation, has remained healthy during and at the end of the ten-day period. (* In New York City, ten-day observation periods may be done at the home of the pet owner, regardless of the animal’s rabies vaccination status.)

Fines

If your dog, cat or domesticated ferret is not vaccinated, is not up to date on its vaccinations, or is not properly confined after biting someone, as the owner you shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $200 for each offense. Additional fines may apply locally.

Exemptions

The vaccination requirements shall not apply to any dog, cat, domesticated ferret if the animal is transported through New York state and remains in the state 15 days or less; the animal is confined to the premises of an incorporated society devoted to the care of lost, stray or homeless animals; a licensed veterinarian has determined that the vaccination will adversely affect the animal’s health; the animal is confined to the premises of a college or other educational or research institution for research purposes; or if the animal is unowned (feral, wild, not socialized).
