 PACC hosting free mega vaccine and microchip clinic
PIMA COUNTY, June 19, 2024 – Pima Animal Care Center is holding a free pet vaccine and microchip clinic on June 26 at the shelter, 4000 N. Silverbell Road.
PACC will be closed to the public for other services during the vaccine and microchip clinic to allow staff resources to be devoted to that effort. Emergency services will be available via PACC’s dispatch line, 520-724-5900 ext. 4.
“One of the most common reasons we’re seeing pets be surrendered to PACC these days is due to lack of access to affordable, preventative pet care like vaccines and simple wellness,” said Director of Animal Services, Monica Dangler. “We’re hopeful that by providing these services as well as lost-and-found resources like chips and tags, we can help more pets stay with the families who love them.”
Gates will open at 9 a.m., and shelter staff will begin processing pets at 9:30 a.m. The clinic will run until 6:30 p.m. or until the first 400 pets have been served. This is a first-come, first-served event. Pet owners should plan to wait in line and bring water for themselves and their pets. Dogs must be on leashes. Cats need to be in carriers.
Services that will be offered include:
- Brief exam by licensed veterinarian
- FVRCP vaccines for cats (Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia)
- DHPP vaccines for dogs (Canine Distemper, Parvo, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus)
- Rabies vaccines for cats and dogs
- Deworming for pets under six months old
- Microchip implantation
- Customized ID tag
This clinic is sponsored by Petco Love and Friends of Pima Animal Care Center. Learn more about PACC’s services and available pets, please visit pima.gov/animalcare.
