VETERINARY & WELLNESS ASSISTANCE
Keeping your pets healthy is a key part of responsible pet ownership. If you need assistance covering the cost of your pet’s spay/neuter, vaccines or microchip, our Helping Paws program may be able to help.
Spay/Neuter Services
Our low-cost spay/neuter services help fight pet overpopulation and prevent you from incurring the future cost of a litter of animals. Spaying and neutering also substantially reduces or eliminates the risk of reproductive-related illnesses.
Vaccinations
Our vaccine clinic is currently open. Please visit our vaccine and microchip clinic page for more details and to make an appointment.
Microchipping
Microchips keep people and pets together! A microchip, the size of a grain of rice, is injected under the animal’s skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip has a unique number that is registered with a national database along with the pet owner’s contact information. The microchip can be read by scanners that are currently used by most animal organizations and veterinary clinics.
