***Update to Adoption Process***

Hi all and thank you everyone for your continued support of Homeless H**ps. We have now adopted out over 1000 animals since we started the program!

I just wanted to flag a change that we will be making to the adoption process for certain species of animal.

When completing a ballot you may notice a new section for Laboratory Testing. When we receive an animal it is given a full clinical examination but we do not do any laboratory tests. For certain species you will now have the option to indicate if you wish to have testing done (e.g. viral testing, faecal testing) or not. There are additional charges for these tests (the prices will be shown in the ballot form) and are in addition to the adoption fee, however we are offering them at a discounted rate for Homeless H**p animals. These fees will be payable at the same time as the adoption fee is to be paid.

In addition, for Blue-tongue Lizards and Shinglebacks, you will have the option to have their s*x identified using an x-ray technique. This is the most accurate way of determining their correct s*x.

I hope that all makes sense and as always if you have any questions please let us know.

Regards,
Dr Shane Simpson
