INDIANAPOLIS — FACE Animal Clinic provided vaccines to over 300 cats and dogs on Saturday, all thanks to a low-cost program hosted at Wes Montgomery Park.
Hundreds of furry friends showed up to receive their shots and vaccine care. FACE states that its PopUp Clinics have existed since 2019 as a means of extending care and transportation to animals while also reducing issues with scheduling.
FACE chose to host their clinics on Saturdays in local Indy neighborhoods: specifically, Wes Montgomery Park and Frederick Douglas Park.
“At FACE, we go the extra mile to meet our clients and their pets in the community,” said Jen Hancock, executive director of FACE Low-Cost Animal Clinic. “Preventing the unnecessary euthanasia of cats and dogs is a critical part of our mission, and vaccinations make a key difference in keeping these animals healthy. We are grateful to our supporters, funders and staff for bringing these lifesaving vaccinations directly to clients who need it most.”
The clinics work to serve at least 300 animals at each event. They are operated on a first-come, first-serve basis. While there is a $5 fee per animal, there is no limit to how many animals a person can bring.
With that said though, all dogs attending FACE’s Low-Cost Animal Clinics must be secured on a short leash. Cats must also be held in a steady carrier.
The next clinic is scheduled for Saturday, September 14th. For more information, check out their website.
