The San Francisco SPCA is organizing a free dog vaccination clinic, aiming to halt a parvovirus outbreak in the Tenderloin. Scheduled for Monday at Golden Gate Greenway, the clinic will administer parvo boosters and rabies shots. Partnering with Animal Care and Control and Saint Anthony's Foundation, the initiative seeks to provide preventative care to dogs, with the capacity to assist up to 200 pets. The importance of vaccinations starting from a young age is emphasized to ensure strong immunity and reduce the risk of fatal infections.
Last month, at their first clinic, they were able to serve 76 dogs. SPCA, Animal Care and Control and Saint Anthony's Foundation have teamed up once again to administer the shots in the Tenderloin.
Experts at SPCA say parvo is a highly contagious viral infection that affects dogs. It can be fatal, but it is also largely preventable.
Prevention is key, getting vaccinations starting at 6 to 8 weeks old going all the way up until they're 16 weeks old, so those puppies can have good strong immunity.
While Monday's clinic is focused on booster shots, they'll also be there offering preventative services for up to 200 other four-legged friends.
