Low-Cost Vaccination & Microchip Clinic: October 17 from 9am-1pm at the Humane Society
How the clinic works: When you arrive, line up at the front door to receive a number and one form for each pet. This number is your spot in line. We will ask for a good phone number to reach you at, and then you'll complete the form(s) in your vehicle and wait for a call when it’s your turn to come inside. The clinic will run until 90 people are registered or 1pm, whichever comes first. |
