This is to help those who are going through economic hardship and still need their furry companion beside them.
“The Centers for Disease Control’s One Health initiative recognizes the importance of the human-animal bond and emphasizes the interconnectedness of the health of animals, humans, and the environment. This initiative is our model – and a number of our pop-up street clinics include services for the pet owners on the other side of the leash as well,” - The Street Dog Coalition.
The event will begin at 9 a.m. until noon. at 41 East Duval Street, Jacksonville, Fla 32202.
