Low-Cost Vaccination Clinic

Española Humane is hosting a series of free and low-cost vaccination clinics aimed at keeping pets healthy in the community. The free vaccines are made possible through Petco Love’s new national vaccination initiative, which is providing 1 million free pet vaccines to its existing animal welfare partners, including Española Humane.

Parvovirus and distemper in dogs, and panleukopenia in cats, are some of the most prevalent deadly diseases impacting pets that are preventable with a simple vaccine. An estimated 30% of pet parents do not take their pet to a veterinarian annually for preventative care. To address this critical need, Española Humane and Petco Love are partnering to make pet vaccines free and accessible.

Altered pets will receive free vaccinations thanks to Petco Love’s national vaccination initiative. Española Humane’s goal is to vaccinate 1,000 pets through free vaccination clinics and through its spay/neuter clinics. The next clinic will be held at the shelter’s clinic, 108 Hamm Parkway, Española, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16 No appointment is necessary. All dogs must be on a leash and all cats in carriers.

Vaccines for unaltered Rio Arriba County pets are $10; residents outside of the service area are welcome, too: $10 for altered pets and $20 for unaltered pets. Vaccines distributed through the Petco Love initiative will be the DAPPv Canine and HCP Feline vaccines.
