Just adopted an adult dog. Can I catch up on vaccines affordably?

Question

Hi! So I just acquired a 2 year old German shepherd from my friend. He's enlisting in the military. The only shots he has gotten her is when she was adopted from the shelter (she was only a few mnths old). Am I able to catch her up, is there a cheaper way? I was only expecting to have to get her rabies. And possibly for Lymse disease. What is the best way to approach this? Thanks!

Great questions! Yes, you can get her vaccines up to date. Dasha should not only have rabies, but she should have her core vaccines as well, including distemper, parvovirus, and canine hepatitis. Lyme disease is a good idea as well. There are low cost clinics in the US, and I will include a link where they are listed by states, and there are also cheap and/or free vaccine clinics run in different places. You can search the internet for these vaccines clinics. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962
