MCHA teams up with Endwright Center to offer low-cost, appointment-free vaccine clinic for dogs and cats

BLOOMINGTON—Monroe County Humane Association (MCHA) is thrilled to announce its May event, which will help local cat and dog owners keep their animals safe and healthy.

On Sunday, May 5, 2024, MCHA and Area 10 Agency on Aging will host a pop-up mobile vaccine clinic at the Endwright Center, located at 631 W. Edgewood Dr., Ellettsville, IN 47429. MCHA’s amazing veterinary team of volunteers and staff will be available from 1 to 3 p.m., and no appointment is needed; all are welcome!

Mobile Clinics offer various services, including legally mandated rabies vaccines for pets aged 12 weeks (about three months) and older. Additionally, clinics provide nail trims, anal gland expressions, microchips, and preventive measures for fleas, ticks, and heartworm.

Subsidized rates are available to residents experiencing financial hardship. To qualify for these rates, residents should bring valid documentation to the Mobile Vaccine Clinic. Safety is paramount. Cats must be in carriers, and dogs must be leashed (no retractable leashes). Pet owners need to understand that pets showing signs of illness or aggression might be turned away.

Communities or organizations interested in hosting a wellness clinic are invited to contact Liz Austin, Outreach Coordinator, at eaustin@monroehumane.org. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring essential pet care services to your area.
