Low-cost vaccination and microchip clinic set for October 3
Saturday, October 3 from 2-4 p.m., Friends of the Animals will hold a low-cost vaccination and microchip clinic for all area residents.
It will be held at the Friends’ clinic in the southeast corner of highways 198 and 334 in Gun Barrel City in the red brick office strip just behind and east of the Huddle House. No appointment is necessary.
Dogs must be on leash, cats must be in carrying case.
A rabies shot will cost $10, the parvo, distemper, etc shot for dogs or the equivalent for cats will cost $15. The feline leukemia vaccination will be available as well at a cost of $10.
There is a rabies epidemic in Texas – and anyone who has had a dog with parvo or distemper knows the suffering that animals go through – and that it is very contagious to other dogs.
This vaccination clinic will be open to everyone, anywhere.
This clinic will also offer microchipping to cats or dogs. A tiny chip is inserted into the scruff of the pet, which can be read by a scanner available at shelters everywhere. Your lost pet comes home! Cost for this is $20, which includes the permanent national registration.
Also available for sale at any time is Frontline Plus, the monthly flea and tick prevention. Frontline Plus costs $27 for a 3-month supply for a cat and ranges from $29 to $32 for a 3-month supply for dogs. Flea season is here! Don’t be fooled by products that are cheap – the reason they are cheap is that they do not work! Don’t throw away your hard-earned money on products that don’t work!
Friends of the Animals Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic has been open since July 2002 and has neutered over 17,500 animals in that time, saving and preventing literally millions of little lives. Surgery is done by appointment only.
Surgery prices range from $25 for a male cat to $65 for a giant breed female dog.
If you would like to volunteer at the clinic on Tuesdays or have questions about the vaccination clinic, please call 903-887-PETS.
Tax-deductible donations for this non-profit charity may be sent to P.O. Box 5455, Gun Barrel City 75147.

Relay for Life to be held at HC Fair Park Complex
The Relay for life Began with one man, one track, one goal. In 1985 an American Cancer Society volunteer, Dr Gordy Klatt, put on his jogging gear and headed for the local oval after a good friend of his succumbed to cancer. Twenty-four hours and 81 miles later, Dr Klatt had raised an amazing $27,000 in sponsored donations for the American Cancer Society. Relay for Life is now the world’s largest fundraising event.
