Shot Clinic

This Saturday, May 9th, 1-5pm, the low-cost spay and neuter clinic called Help For Animals on
Rt. 60 E, Barboursville, WV is having something great. They offer a shot clinic for people who can't afford to have their animals vaccinated otherwise. Dr. Kelly Pinkston is their vet, and I can say, personally, that I have found her to be a very caring person.

I have taken several dogs, of other people's, to be spayed, all were females, and was very, very impressed with the service and treatment of the animals. Also, Dr. Pinkston is very candid when it comes to the treatment of animals. One older Doberman that I took, after talking for several years to her owner, had litter after litter of pups, and finally was down to having just one in her litters, was one case that Dr. Pinkston was candid with the owner about. I really, really appreciated her candor with the owner. She got her message across.

So, if you have a dog that needs its vaccinations, or a new puppy and haven't found a vet yet, I suggest Help For Animals. Their phone number is 304-736-8555. And, if you know of someone that has a dog that needs spayed or neutered and they can't afford to have it done, suggest this vet clinic.

They are located right before you get to King Tobacco, at the Huntington Mall exit, on Rt. 60 in Barboursville, WV.

An Organization That Cares.

Help For Animals has started a great new program. It is a free spay and neuter service to people that are financially qualified. It seems a very kind hearted donor, gave them $5,000.00 to help get people with large dogs to come and get them spayed or neutered.

Even with the extremely low price of just $52.00, a lot of people can't afford it. So, they are now offering this new service. To qualify for the grant, dogs must be over 40 lbs. and the owners have to show financial need and fill out a questionnaire. You must call in advance at 304 736 8555. The Herald Dispatch ran this story, but have the phone number wrong. Call today if you have a large dog and want to get it spayed or neutered.
