The first vaccines, such as the parvo and booster shots were free. The additional vaccines cost $5. Organizers say the clinic is a great way to get your pets vaccinated without the vet visit fee. “Dogs that shed viruses are going to get other dogs sick. You see all these dogs walking in the pet stores here, they could hold on to parvo, giardia, and not get symptoms. Puppies who aren’t vaccinated they are going to pick that up and get sick so it’s really important that we all do our part,” said Allie Ashe, Pawsitive Life Rescue.

Organizers also encourage pet owners to pre-register for the next event which will be held July 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Boofy’s.
