MCHA teams up with Monroe Fire Station 21 to offer a low-cost, appointment-free vaccine clinic for dogs and cats

Monroe County Humane Association

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

On Sunday, June 2, 2024, MCHA will host a pop-up mobile vaccine clinic at Monroe Fire Station 21, 9094 South Strain Ridge Road, Bloomington, IN 47401. 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!

In celebration of National Microchipping Month, Monroe County Humane Association (MCHA) is partnering with Bloomington Animal Care and Control to offer $10 microchips throughout June. You can get your pets microchipped at our June mobile vaccine clinic by visiting Bloomington Animal Care and Control or scheduling an appointment at the MCHA clinic. To make an appointment, call 812-333-6242 or email reception@monroehumane.org.

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 invited to contact Liz Austin, Outreach Coordinator, at eaustin@monroehumane.org. This is a beautiful opportunity to bring essential pet care services to your area.
