I called in advance to schedule the free vet check-up that I was promised when I adopted my dog from the Yonkers Animal Shelter. When I registered at the front desk - I told them I was here for my free vet check-up for my newly adopted dog. There was no misunderstanding, and I showed my adoption papers to the staff.
The check-up was OK, and I thanked everyone on my way out.
I have received a bill for $144.99 every month for over a year now. There are now interest and penalty charges being added. The words "free vet check-up" seem to translate differently here.
I've since adopted another dog from a shelter - and unfortunately did not feel comfortable taking advantage of the "free vet check-up" offer - specifically because of this incident.
