DART (Duplin Animal Shelter) says people who adopt have to sign a contract stating the person adopting the animal must take it to the vet within 48 hours and Candace acknowledges she didn’t do that.

“It needs it shots. It needs a puppy physical. It needs to be checked for worms.
I mean it needs medical attention.

“They are told how important it is to get the dogs to the vets,” says Kim Loyd.

Both Brinson and DART agree that before you give your heart to a pet, give that animal a thorough examination.
