Over the past 12 months, with funding support from Supervisor Perez, Riverside County has been able to bring spay and neuter clinics to Indio Hills, North Shore, and the Oasis Mobile Home Park Community. Additionally, wellness clinics have been held in Sky Valley, Blythe, Carver Tract, North Shore, and Thousand Palms. These eight events assisted an estimated 80 dogs and cats with spay and neuter procedures and another 1,000 pets with vaccines and microchips. All services were provided free of charge for residents.
Supervisor Perez and the Riverside County Department of Animal Services plan to organize more outreach and pet care clinics this fall with the newly approved funding.
“We are excited to launch new mobile clinics in an effort to save lives and show we care with action,” said Supervisor Perez. “These clinics help our communities and are provided at no cost to help residents take care of their pets. I’m proud to say that more clinics will be coming soon to a community near you!”
Funding for the mobile clinics comes from the Fourth District Unincorporated Communities Initiative funding, county funds used to assist with projects and needs of unincorporated communities.
