Palmetto Animal League will hold a free vaccination clinic Saturday, April 16 providing core vaccines for cats and dogs.
“Because of a special grant, there will be no charge for pets to receive their basic yearly boosters,” PAL Adoption Coordinator Sally Dawkins explained in a news release. “And there is no residency requirement. All are welcome.”
PAL is offering free one- and three-year rabies and DHPP dog vaccinations and free one- and three-year rabies and FVRCP cat vaccinations. Pet owners opting for the three-year rabies vaccine must bring proof of their pet’s one-year rabies vaccine from the previous year.
“Far too often, people are forced to give up a pet due to inability to pay,” PAL President Amy Campanini said.
Free pet vaccinations will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis at Palmetto Animal League, located at 56 Riverwalk Blvd. in Okatie, on Saturday, April 16 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., for three hours or until all allotted vaccines provided by the grant have been given.
“At PAL, we see access to high quality, affordable veterinary care as a vital part of our lifesaving mission,” Campanini said. “Accessible, preventative care helps keep pets in a loving home for their lifetime, decreasing the number of animals surrendered to shelters.”
PAL’s Saturday Vaccination Clinic provides limited services. They are unable to provide exams, treat, or diagnose your pet on Saturday. For additional care or if you have a sick pet, call the PAL Veterinary Clinic at 843-645-1727 to schedule an appointment during the week.
The Palmetto Animal League Veterinary Clinic is an accessible resource for every pet and every family, offering wellness exams, vaccines, microchipping, and much more at affordable prices. For more information, visit www.PalmettoAnimalLeague.org.
