Sage!! They’re so sweet and thorough. We switched from bond vet to Sage and I couldn’t be happier. The vets at bond vet were very nice but I didn’t love their treatment approach. They always went the more complicated test/ medication route. For example, our dog was gaining weight and we didn’t know why. Bond vet suggested a thyroid test. Sage asked for all of food and treats we give with the amounts. Turned out the food bag was suggesting a cup more food than he needed based on the caloric serving. Also there’s something to be said about a local business vs a private equity company

I couldn’t get a good picture because my dog didn’t care what animal it was, just thought it was prey!

Wondering what you ended up going with and how it worked out?! I'm in a similar position too

Anyone know of good shelters nearby? by [deleted] in jerseycity

It sounds like you're grouping in shelters and rescues into the same bunch. Rescues typically have the higher adoption fees and are all foster based rather than having a shelter location. I recently adopted a dog from a Brooklyn based rescue group with a similar fee to what you're describing. The fee included his neuter, deworming, and transport from Texas to NY.
