Council Members Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13) and Madonna Flood
(D-24) encourage pet owners to take advantage of a special event on
Saturday, June 10th that will offer one stop services for your pet.

put together an event where you can have your pet microchipped, licensed, or
vaccinated. It all is available in one location and at low cost,” says Welch.
“If you have been putting off updating your pet’s licenses and
vaccinations this would be a perfect time to get that done.”
