        • We need your dog's vet records

          At a bare minimum, we will need your dog's vaccination records. State laws and our own policies require dogs to be vaccinated against Rabies, Distemper, and to have a recent heartworm test if they're from a part of the country where this is a concern.

          You can send us your vet record by:

          • Emailing them to rescue@shepherdswithoutborders.org
          • Mailing them to us at Post Office Box #1132, Silverton, Oregon 97381

        • This includes flea/tick medication (topical or oral), joint supplements, deworming medications and probiotics. If you are not sure if you should include something, select yes and list it anyway.
        • It's OK to leave this blank if you don't have this available. This should be listed in your dog's vet record.
