This is a HIGHLY valuable service that PAWS of NE Louisiana is providing for our community. Your animal advocacy nonprofit groups are stepping up to the plate to serve your pets! Thank you, PAWS NELA!
Our 6th FREE Pet Wellness Weekend hosted by PAWS of NE LA and sponsored by RedRover, BISSELL Pet Foundation and Banfield Foundation is 10 days away! We have vaccinated over 2,160 pets to date through these outreach clinics and can’t wait to help even more families and pets in need.💜
PLEASE READ if you are planning on attending and share with fellow pet owners in NE LA.
🐾When is the event?🐾
Friday, April 17th from 8am-12pm and Saturday, April 18th from 9am-4pm
🐾Where is the event?🐾
Whites Ferry Road Church at 3201 N 7th Street in West Monroe. This will be a drive thru event, with everyone staying in line, in their cars, until they reach the vet station under the church’s portico. Please pull into the parking lot at the PAWS tent/check in station. We will have volunteers there giving out paperwork and directing folks where to go.
🐾What is being offered for FREE?🐾
Rabies vaccines for dogs and cats. DAPP vaccines for dogs. RCCP vaccines for cats. Engraved pet ID tags. Flea/tick medication. Pet supplies (collars, harnesses, leashes, food, toys). Everything will be given out for FREE as long as supplies last so come early if you can. This is all thanks to support from Red Rover, Banfield, and Bissell!
🐾What about the FREE spay/neuter vouchers? Very important!🐾
We have a limited number of vouchers sponsored by Red Rover and Tito's Handmade Vodka. We will also be issuing vouchers from our regular PAWS Spay/Neuter Assistance Program on site. To increase your chances of getting a surgery voucher, PLEASE bring PROOF OF INCOME (2 consecutive pay stubs, social security benefits, or government assistance letter or card for Medicaid and/or SNAP).
🐾Important things you need to know on the day of the event:🐾
• Please bring cats in carriers (or contained in some way). We will have a limited number of cat carriers available to be used to get cats from cars to the vet station if needed.
• Please bring dogs on leash or crated. We have slip leashes for dogs to use.
• We know the event may be stressful for your pet, so please let a volunteer know if you think they may show any signs of fear aggression. We will have muzzles available. Please do not let your pet interact with other pets at the event.
• A volunteer will greet you in the parking lot upon arrival and you will fill out paperwork in your car. We can even help you fill out the paperwork if needed!
• Please be patient. We are expecting a big turnout, and the event is being put on by volunteers.
🐾Who will be giving my pet(s) the vaccinations?🐾
A wonderful local Veterinarians and vet techs are donating their time for this event to take care of your pet(s). Please make sure to thank them!
🐾Do I have to live in a certain Parish to be able to come to the event?🐾
No! Anyone in need is welcome as long as you are willing/able to drive to West Monroe.
🐾Does my pet have to come to the event?🐾
That depends… if you only need an engraved ID tag and/or surgery voucher, they do not have to come. For all other free services, the pet has to be present.
