Holidays may bring joy to many, but for our furry friends, they often come with stress, health risks, and the possibility of getting lost amidst the travel and festivities. Recognizing these challenges, Broward County Animal Care is stepping up its game for pet owners this season. The agency is offering free Community Pet Care Clinics that provide vital preventative services, including rabies vaccinations, microchipping, and overall wellness care. All these at no cost to Broward County residents. As slots are expected to fill up quickly, online pre-registration is strongly recommended, with an option available on Animal Care website.

In the spirit of service, Doug Brightwell, the Director of Broward County Animal Care, emphasized the clinic's importance, particularly during a time when pet health is at risk. "Healthy pets are a part of happier families. Our free Community Pet Care Clinics provide essential wellness services, ensuring our residents can safeguard their pets as they navigate the holiday season," Brightwell stated, who Broward County residents have always looked to for pet well-being guidance, according to Animal Care website.

The schedule for the upcoming clinics has been posted, with the first set on Wednesday, November 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Tyrone Bryant Branch Library, located at 2230 N.W. 21st Avenue, Fort Lauderdale. The second session will be conducted on Friday, November 15, also from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will take place at the Carver Ranches Library at 4735 S.W. 18th Street, West Park. The locations were thoughtfully chosen to make the services accessible to as many residents as possible.
