Ellis County friends, please share and take advantage of this great opportunity on Aug 13th!

Mark your calendars, FREE vaccine clinic coming up.

Ellis County Sheriff's Office, SPCA of Texas Host Free Pet Vaccine Clinic

WHAT: In partnership with the Ellis County Sheriff's Office, the SPCA of Texas is hosting a free pet vaccination clinic, with rabies, DAPP and FVRCP vaccinations plus microchips, all donated by Merck and Petco Love, to help curb the spread of preventable diseases and illnesses in pets living in Ellis County. The free vaccines are made possible through Merck and Petco Love's national vaccination initiative, which is providing 1 million free pet vaccines to its existing animal welfare partners, including the SPCA of Texas, for family pets in need.

“Thanks to the Ellis County Sheriff's Office for their partnership and to Merck and Petco Love for their sponsorship, we can offer these important vaccines at no cost to pet owners,” said Karen Froehlich, SPCA of Texas President and CEO. “We urge community members to take advantage of this free resource to ensure the health and wellness of our community’s pets.”

WHEN/WHERE:
Saturday, August 13
8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Ellis County Expo Center
2300 US 287, Waxahachie, TX 75167

WHY: Parvovirus and distemper in dogs, and panleukopenia in cats, are some of the most prevalent deadly diseases impacting pets that are preventable with a simple vaccine. An estimated 30% of pet parents do not take their pet to a veterinarian annually for preventative care.

To address this critical need, the Ellis County Sheriff's Office, the SPCA of Texas, Merck and Petco Love are partnering to make pet vaccines free and accessible in an effort to ensure the health and wellness of the community's beloved pets.

The SPCA of Texas aims to vaccinate 200 pets at the event, which will help prevent the spread of disease in Ellis County communities.

HOW: The vaccination clinic is open to the public and is first-come, first-served. Free vaccines and services for dogs include DAPPv, rabies, bordetella and microchip. Free vaccines and services for cats include FVRCP, rabies, bordetella and microchip. This free vaccination clinic is funded by Merck and Petco Love and are only available to pets and people living in Ellis County.

Sunny Z is going to continue to blossom with and the magical Miss Joplin. Suzanne and Joplin are an amazing foster team. Sunny began making herself right at home and then showed us all her genius skills with the treat puzzle!

Sunny Z’s progress is fantastic! She gets to try no splint until her next vet visit. Go Sunny Go!

Just dropped Aimee at the vet for her second surgery. We won’t know what surgery it’ll be until she’s been sedated and xrayed. Please keep her in your thoughts.

The ranchito OG, Odie wishing you Happy Pride Month ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Broken puppy update! Her name while she’s at the ranchito will be Sunny Z 🌞 Today was her follow-up exam at the vet. Based on how well Sunny had been doing this week I was cautiously optimistic we would be continuing her treatment, so I removed her soiled splint to bathe her and get her all fresh for a new splint. At the vet office everyone agreed she had improved; she has control of her bladder and bowel, is able to stand on her unaffected side, and best of all she’s happy 😁 This means we are moving forward with weekly splint changes until the vet is confident she is ready for surgery. We are a little concerned because Sunny developed a pretty large seroma in the area of her trauma that they had to drain. We checked her hematocrit just to make sure this isn’t anything to be super concerned about. Her hematocrit was a tad low so we’ll be monitoring her until her checkup next week. If anything changes we’ll take her back to the vet sooner! Otherwise, Sunny was the perfect angel patient and got a new splint. Purple this time 💅🏽 Sunny has gained a little weight which is good but we’re adding supplements to improve her overall condition. Topped everything off with her puppy vaccinations, a nail trim, ear cleaning and some new medications. We got this Sunny Z! Please continue to send her all your healing power ⚡️

Two former Texans goofing off while they wait for their furever families. Marshmallow, the black and white with the big smile on her face, was so sick at the shelter that she had to been given until the end of the day to be rescued. It's Ruff Without a Roof committed to helping her and Nava Dog assisted by getting her to the emergency clinic where she stayed for several days to treat her pneumonia. When Marshmallow was well enough to leave the ER she recuperated at the ranchito until she headed north. Seeing that big smile on her face is everything 💖

Aimee’s head tilts 10/10. We’ve partnered with It's Ruff Without a Roof to help Aimee. Aimee found herself at Dallas Animal Services after being hit by a car. Aimee needed more medical help than the shelter could provide and she needed immediate help. That’s when IRWAR stepped up and said they would take responsibility for Aimee. Nava Dog assisted by getting Aimee to our Texas vet where she has already had one surgery, and still needs two more. Maybe three. This is rescue. It truly takes a village.
