Early 2022 Barky Pines opened our low cost veterinary clinic. This was something we wanted to do for some time and were working on obtaining financing. We decided in late 2021 not to wait, and began outfitting the Barky Bus to convert into the clinic. Through generous benefactors, we were able to purchase state of the art equipment to provide services to the community.
Since then we were able to obtain grants to provide hundreds of FREE spay and neuter on ” pit bull” type and chihuahua breeds. These breeds are the most overbred and fill shelters not only in PBC and Florida, but throughout the country. By offering this service, we hope to make a positive impact on the breed and shelters for the future.
++++As of February 2024, the only current grant service is for Pitbull type breeds We will extend this service until funds are depleted. We will of course try to obtain more grants to continue the program.
We offer low cost spay and neuter, vaccines, x-ray, dentals, blood work and ultrasound services, Pyometra surgery, intestinal blockages, fractures for those in the community in need. We hope this will help our neighbors and keep more dogs and cats at home with their families where they belong.
