Free vaccine and microchip clinic to be held at Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH — The Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh will host a free vaccine and microchip clinic on Monday.

The clinic will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at its East Side location at 6926 Hamilton Avenue.

The event will offer free Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines for dogs, along with Rabies and FVRCP vaccines for cats. Additionally, free microchipping services will be available to help identify lost pets.

The Edgar Snyder & Associates H.O.P.E.S. (Helping Owners & Pets by Edgar Snyder) Program is supporting HARP in this initiative.

The clinic will operate on a first-come, first-served basis, with walk-ins accepted from 9 a.m. until 3:45 p.m., and no appointments are required. Due to anticipated high demand, attendees should expect wait times. Guests arriving before 9 a.m. are asked to remain in their vehicles while staff prepare for the clinic.

Pet owners should ensure cats are in carriers and dogs are on non-retractable leashes. Bringing vaccination records for pets is encouraged and there is a limit of five pets per household.

Vaccinations are crucial for protecting pets from highly contagious and potentially deadly diseases, including parvovirus and distemper in dogs and panleukopenia in cats. Providing access to these services helps maintain community pet health.

Dan Cody, HARP’s Executive Director, highlighted the impact of the partnership.

“We encourage community members to take advantage of this resource to help keep their pets healthy and protected,” Cody said.

Shannon Botts, Public and Community Relations Manager for Edgar Snyder & Associates, underscored her organization’s commitment.

“At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we believe that every family deserves access to the care they need—including care for their pets,” Botts said. “Through our H.O.P.E.S. Program, we’re proud to partner with Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh to remove barriers to essential veterinary services and help keep pets healthy, safe and with the families who love them.”
