It is unknown whether Splash! would do well in a home with other cats and dogs, but so far he has shown no known aggression to any other animals.
The adoption fee for Splash! is $90.00 and the adopting family will receive a 10% discount off of professional services for one year after adoption.
Please inquire at the front desk for more information or to fill out an adoption application.

Introducing Cold Laser Therapy
We at Fort Hunt Animal Hospital are very concerned about pain management in pets. In keeping with this theme in our clinic, we have added the latest technology for joint and soft tissue problems, the Companion Therapy Laser. This laser reduces swelling in joints and soft tissues which dramatically reduces pain caused by the pressure. Treatments last 3 to 6 minutes per site and require no anesthesia. Your pet will be very comfortable as this laser produces only slight warmth in the inflamed tissue. Laser Therapy for chronic conditions requires 6 treatments to achieve the best results for your pet. Booster treatments are then required every 4-12 weeks afterwards to maintain the reduced inflammation.
If your pet is currently on a drug to reduce swelling and/or pain, we wanted you to know of this therapy. This treatment may help enhance the effect of injections and oral medications for the treatment of pain.
Has your pet shown an intolerance to pain medications or has your pet shown incomplete pain reduction? Then your pet is a candidate for this therapy. Please call one of our staff, or talk to one of our veterinarians about this technology.
