Free Pet Clinic Hosted By Manatee County Animal Services

ELLENTON, FL — Manatee County Animal Services will host a free pet vaccination, microchip and licensing clinic for county pet owners Friday morning at Rocky Bluff Library at 6750 US 301 in Ellenton.

The agency is working with District 1 county Commissioner James Satcher to organize the clinic, which starts at a.m., the county said in a news release. The free clinics were made possible through a $10,000 donation from the Manatee Community Foundation.

Pet owners must register in advance at www.mymanatee.org/petclinic. Dogs must be leashed and non-aggressive and cats must be in a secure carrier. Pet owners will need to provide a driver’s license, or state ID and a completed clinic waiver, the county said.
