BLOOMINGTON – Monroe County Humane Association (MCHA) and the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control (BACC) are teaming up this March to bring accessible vaccines and essential wellness services to local dog and cat owners.
As two of the leading animal welfare organizations serving our community, this event is another exciting milestone in an ongoing partnership that brings together our shared goals for responsible pet ownership and access to essential veterinary services for all community members.
On Sunday, March 3, 2024, the Bloomington Animal Shelter, located at 3410 South Walnut Street, will generously host the MCHA veterinary team from 1-3 p.m. with no appointment 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 must understand that pets showing signs of illness or aggression might be turned away.
Communities or organizations interested in hosting a wellness clinic are warmly invited to reach out. This is a golden opportunity to bring essential pet care services to your area.
