UPDATE: The free Vaccine and Microchip Clinic planned for Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Cherokee County Animal Shelter has been postponed due to unforeseen and emergency circumstances involving the consulting veterinarian. A new date will be announced soon.

Centre- Pet owners in Cherokee County will have a great opportunity to protect their furry friends during a Free Vaccine and Microchip Clinic scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 8 a.m. until noon at Lakeside Pawfection located at 5640 Weiss Lake Boulevard in Leesburg.

The event is made possible by Best Friends Animal Society, with special thanks to Deaton Veterinary Services and Lakeside Pawfection for their support.

Vaccinations and microchipping are essential for keeping pets healthy and ensuring they can be quickly reunited with their families if lost. This free clinic aims to help more local residents access these important services.

Organizers encourage pet owners to arrive early, as services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
