DENVER – The Street Dog Coalition, in partnership with the American Veterinary Medical Association and Merck Animal Health, will host a free medical care clinic Sunday for the pets of people experiencing homelessness.
“It's a lot of those just core vaccines that are really important. The preventative medicine is what we're really after, in terms of these free clinics. So providing rabies, vaccines, parvo vaccines, but we're also able to test for heart worm and provide heart worm prevention medication, as well as flea tick prevention medication,” said Katrina Weschler, Street Dog Coalition executive director.
The Street Dog Coalition is a nonprofit that provides free medical care and related services to pets of people experiencing or at risk of homelessness throughout the United States and in Ukraine.“A lot of people that we meet at these clinics take such good care of their animals. And we see cats, too. But the bond that develops between the animals and the human, it's so strong. And a lot of times, these pets are just living their best lives.
The clinic will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday July 16 at the Welton Street entrance of the Colorado Convention Center. The Follow UpWhat do you want Denver7 to follow up on? Is there a story, topic or issue you want us to revisit? Let us know with the contact form below.
