Save a life by adopting a shelter pet!
Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control is proud to announce the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new West County free Spay/Neuter Clinic for dogs and cats will be held on Tuesday, March 31 at 10:30 a.m. The new facility is located at 3615 State Road 715, Pahokee.
Special guests and speakers include Western Communities Liaison Michael E. Jackson, Public Safety Director/Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento and Animal Care and Control Director Dianne Suave.
Pet owners are encouraged to bring their dogs or cats to register for free spay or neuter appointments or receive free dog/cat food and free applications of Frontline flea and tick control for their pets. The pets must be present to receive the Frontline. There will be prize drawings for those registered.
Community residents are welcome to visit from 10 a.m. to noon for other activities. Hot dogs will be served following the ceremony.
The new spay/neuter clinic will open to county residents on April 1. The goal of the facility is to sterilize more than 5,000 animals each year. The surgery is free to Palm Beach County residents with a $25 fee for the required rabies vaccination, license tag and microchip. Residents may start calling 561-924-5657 now to make appointments to have their pets sterilized.
