<p>Thanks to a special grant, Palmetto Animal League will hold a free Saturday vaccination clinic open to anyone who needs to have a dog or cat vaccinated.</p>

<p>“The Palmetto Animal League Veterinary Clinic is a resource for pet owners in the community who need quality, affordable veterinary care,” PAL President Amy Campanini said in a release. “Our goal is to reduce the number of pets surrendered to shelters because of financial hardship.”</p>

<p>Pet vaccinations will be administered on a first come, first served basis from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 12 – for 3 hours or until all allotted vaccines provided by the grant have been given.</p>

<p>PAL is offering free 1- and 3-year rabies and DHPP dog vaccinations and free 1- and 3-year rabies and FVRCP cat vaccinations. Pet owners opting for the 3-year rabies vaccine must bring proof of their pet’s 1-year rabies vaccine from the previous year.</p>

<p>“We want to increase access for pets to get core vaccines, providing them with a baseline level of protection against disease,” Campanini said.</p>
