Pop-Up Vaccine Clinic For Dogs Planned In Bolingbrook

BOLINGBROOK, IL – Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, Bolingbrook Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta, and the K9 Enrichment Initiative are inviting dog owners to a pop-up pet clinic from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday at the Bolingbrook Town Center.

The appointment-only event, hosted in partnership with Petco Love, will provide free vaccinations, microchipping services and a pet food pantry, according to a release.

“Ensuring pets have up-to-date vaccines and working pets can be lifesaving,” Bertino-Tarrant said in a release. “I invite any residents in need of these services to register for this pop-up clinic to keep their pets healthy.”

The free vaccines were provided by Petco Love as part of their national vaccination initiative, which is providing one million free pet vaccines to animal welfare partners, including K9 Enrichment Initiative, for family pets in need. Vaccines to protect dogs from Distemper/Parvo and Bordatella will be provided at the event, along with microchips and dog food, a release states.

“Having two dogs of my own, I understand the importance of routine vaccinations and microchips,” Alexander-Basta said in a release. “I’m thankful to partner with Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, K9 Enrichment Initiative, and Petco Love to provide a resource for more residents to practice responsible pet ownership.”

The clinic will be hosted outside in the north parking lot of the Bolingbrook Town Center, located at 375 West Briarcliff Road.

“I invite local residents to take advantage of this no-cost resource to ensure the health and wellness of your community’s pets,” Cynthia Lynn Guzman, Executive Director of K9 Enrichment Initiative, said in a release. “I’m very thankful for Petco Love and our partners for their ongoing support, allowing us to offer free services to pet owners in need of support. These events would not be possible without our donors and local clinic sponsors.”
