*What exactly does this mean?

Dogs come to rescue in all manner of physical condition. Some need to be spayed/neutered, some need to be treated for heartworm (or care after heartworm treatment), some need flea treatment, and some need treatment for other ailments or injuries. Southeast GSP Rescue works on a reimbursement policy, meaning, we ask our foster homes to cover [pre-approved] medical costs and submit receipts for reimbursement from the Rescue fund. If you have further questions about this, please contact our Southeast Director, Beth Cochran.
