Charleston Animal Society is partnering with national nonprofit Petco Love to host a free pet vaccine event on Saturday, March 19th. Petco Love established March as “National Pet Vaccination Month” to encourage pet parents to keep their pets up to date on vaccinations and is providing the free vaccinations to Charleston Animal Society for family pets in need.
As puppy and kitten season approaches, pet exposure to contagious and deadly diseases – parvovirus, distemper, and panleukopenia – increases but is preventable with a simple vaccine.
“Our goal is to vaccinate 250 animals during our event on the old Navy Base in North Charleston,” said Charleston Animal Society Vice President of Operations and Strategy Aldwin Roman, CAWA. “National Pet Vaccination Month is a continuation of Petco Love's 1 million free pet vaccine campaign, which has helped 400,000 pets to date. The event will be focused on serving dogs but it will be able to accommodate some cats.”
The event will be held from 9 am to 2 pm in the parking lot at the intersection of Noisette Drive and Avenue B on the old Navy Base in North Charleston (across from Water Mission, 1150 Molly Greene Way, Bldg. 1605). Look for signs and vehicles.
