Fallston, MD (September 26, 2023) – The Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC) is hosting a public pet vaccination clinic on Saturday, November 4, 2023 from 10am-2pm at the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Southern Precinct, 1305 Pulaski Highway, Edgewood, MD 21040. Vaccines and microchips will be administered on a first come, first-served basis and while supplies last – appointments are not required. Payment is via cash or a major credit card.
“Protecting the family pet from deadly and preventable diseases like parvovirus, distemper and panleukopenia should never come down to cost,” said Bob Citrullo, executive director at HSHC. “Our goal is to make core vaccines affordable for pet parents who are experiencing financial challenges and are unable to afford a regular relationship with a veterinarian.”
The clinic will offer distemper and Bordetella for dogs, distemper for cats, and rabies vaccines for dogs, cat, and ferrets. Vaccines are $10 each. In addition, the clinic will implant and register microchips for $25.
“Getting a microchip is such a quick and easy thing to do,” Citrullo added. “It takes just a few seconds to implant the chip and makes identifying your pet a breeze if it’s ever lost or stolen.”
Animals must be at least 4 months old to be vaccinated. Cash or credit/debit is accepted. To ensure the safety of everyone, dogs must be on a non-retractable leash with a properly fitted collar, and cats and ferrets must be safely contained inside a carrier.
