Toxins:

If your foster pet ingests a toxin, immediately call ASPCA's Poison Control and head to VEG. VEG needs a Case Number, which will be provided by the ASPCA on the phone call. They will require a $75 payment for the ASPCA Poison Control call. Time is of the essence, so if you are able, please pay this amount and Brother Wolf will reimburse you as soon as possible. 

• If you are unable, call Brother Wolf's emergency line (828-820-2115) and a staff member will provide payment to the ASPCA. 

ASPCA's phone number: 888-426-4435
