Edinburg, TX – Palm Valley Animal Society (PVAS) will be holding a community clinic this Saturday, October 10th, to offer low-cost vaccines and microchip clinic to keep animals in our community healthy.
“We see a lot of distemper and parvo come through our shelter,” said Donna Casamento, Executive Director of PVAS. “The out poor of support from our local friends and national partners has allowed our medical team to treat the cases that come into our shelter, but we want to make sure that our community has access to these lifesaving vaccinations as well.”
The community clinic’s drive-thru format requires participants to arrive in a vehicle, where they should remain while PVAS staff requests, from a 6-foot distance, information on the pet and the services wanted. Quantities are limited and vaccines and microchips will be available for cats and dogs while supplies last.
“It’s important to us that the animal population of the RGV is healthy, vaccinated, and microchipped. A simple vaccine can prevent suffering caused by a treatable disease for the animal and the family. Microchips serve the same purpose for a lost pet. It makes it easy for pets to be reunited with their families quickly. When an animal comes into our care, we give it vaccinations, emergency and regular medical care, check them for a microchip, and have many other costs during the animal’s time with us. We are happy to support the pets and people in the RGV. ” said Casamento.
The community clinic is part of the PVAS’s ongoing commitment to help prevent animals from falling ill due to inaccessibility to basic animal health care.
