“We hope to offer resources to the community that will improve the health and welfare of our area’s pets,” says Melanie Sobel, SCCAS general manager. "Vaccines significantly reduce the chance of dogs contracting deadly diseases. Microchips are a safe, easy and effective way to quickly reunite lost pets with their owners and also provide proof of ownership if a pet is ever stolen. Spaying and neutering a pet is healthier for the animal and helps to combat the pet overpopulation problem."
