BREWSTER — Up to 300 dogs in Okanogan County will receive no-cost core vaccinations and microchips as part of a free two-day clinic organized by Team Okanogan Animal Rescue (TOAR). The Brewster event will take place Sunday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Brewster High School.
The clinic is open to the public and will provide services on a first-come, first-served basis. No appointments are necessary.
TOAR is providing the clinics to help pet owners in Okanogan County access basic preventive care in a region with no public animal shelter and limited low-cost veterinary options.
“Every pet deserves access to basic care, no matter where they live or what their family can afford,” said Jill Servais, President of Team Okanogan Animal Rescue. “These clinics will help hundreds of dogs get the protection they need to live healthy lives. We’re deeply grateful to Oroville and Brewster High Schools for hosting the events; to CARA Veterinary for generously providing staff and support; and to Pawsitive Alliance for supplying microchips. We also thank Greater Good Charities for contributing vaccines, and all our hardworking volunteers who make these and other TOAR events possible.”
The Brewster clinic follows a Saturday event at Oroville High School, scheduled for May 17 from noon to 4 p.m.
In addition to the vaccine and microchip events, TOAR will host two large-scale spay and neuter clinics this year in partnership with Greater Good Charities’ Good Fix program. Each clinic is expected to serve over 1,000 animals in a four-day span.
