Dog Rescue R Us to host pet vaccine event Sunday

Dog Rescue R Us will provide free vaccinations for Odessa/Midland area pets from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 30 at Tractor Supply, 7800 TX-191 Frontage, in Odessa.

The free vaccines are made possible through Petco Love’s new national vaccination initiative, which is providing one million more free pet vaccines to existing animal welfare partners, including drru.org, for family pets in need.

Parvovirus and distemper in dogs and panleukopenia in cats — the most prevalent deadly diseases affecting pets — are preventable with a simple vaccine.

Through this national effort, Dog Rescue R Us aims to vaccinate 200 pets. This will be a drive-thru style event. First come, first served.

The free vaccines distributed at events through the Petco Love initiative will be the DAPPv Canine and HCP Feline vaccines.

“Thanks to Petco Love, we can offer these important vaccine events at no cost to pet owners,” said Dog Rescue R Us Operations Director Dolly Hinsz in a press release. “We urge community members to take advantage of this no-cost resource to ensure the health and wellness of our community’s pets.”
