LAKEPORT—In an effort to add to the services provided to Lake County’s homeless and those without shelter, Hope Harbor has teamed up with Orphan Dog and Elle Vet Services to provide two days of free veterinary clinics.
The clinics will also be available to low or no income seniors in the area. Pets owned by these two vulnerable populations sometimes have no access to veterinary care.
Participants can expect wellness check-ups, parasite protection (for fleas and ticks), worming, microchipping and pain relief.
The services run through Tuesday June 9 from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm.
Anyone who is experiencing homelessness and has a pet or is a low or no income senior with a pet is encouraged to call Karen at (707) 349-2624 to set up an appointment.
Orphan Dog has been in operation in Lake County since 2004 and has rescued, spayed and neutered thousands of dogs since their founding. Elle Vet Services is providing medication, vaccines and veterinary staff for the event.
Hope Harbor is Lake County’s emergency homeless shelter and is run by the Lake Ministerial Association.
