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 2023, the only current grant service is for Pitbull type breeds from Palm Beach County. We will extend this service until funds are depleted. We will of course try to obtain more grants to continue the program.
***** AS OF APRIL, we have exhausted all grant funds for free surgery. We are working on obtaining new grants and will update the page and social media when we start that program again.
We offer low cost spay and neuter, vaccines, x-ray, dentals, blood work and ultrasound services, 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.

We also signed on with Palm Beach County to provide FREE TNVR services for community cats. Making a difference in their lives, and an effort to reduce the number of these homeless cats. Going above and beyond, Dr. Ramsey also provides these cats with a full exam, ear cleaning and more. Sending them back out with the best chances possible.
TNVR is on Wednesdays, No appointment needed at this time. Drop off is Wednesday morning between 8:3- and 9:30 am. Pick up is between 4-6 pm Wednesday. For your convenience, we offer Tuesday evening drop off between 4 and 6 pm.
Clinic days for surgery, for the public and dog rescues, is Sunday and Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday for cats and cat rescues. +++This may change as needs change as this is a very fluid situation with homeless pets.
For any service other than TNVR, Please EMAIL clinic@barkypines.org with your full name, address and phone as well as your pet’s name, age, breed and what services they need. Let us know what day of the week you prefer.
We will get you on the schedule on the next date available. Appointments are made by “first booked, first served”. You will receive an email confirmation, but no reminder call.
The day before your appointment, your pet should have no food or treats after 7 pm, they may have water. In the morning a small amount of water is ok. Please walk your dog to ensure all the “business” is done, we all appreciate that very much! You should arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Please come to our front gate on our North side , Antoinette St. and follow the driveway to the bus. If the gate is closed, it means the horses are out. Please wait for us to open the gate.
Be sure to have a cone, preferably the soft blow up type for your pets recovery.
As far as exam appointments, we are seeking a vet to come in once a week for exams only, as it’s impossible to predict when surgeries are complete to make the appointments afterward. Stay tuned 🙂
Unfortunately we had to close the online pharmacy as someone made an over the counter purchase and then claimed fraud! He got his food, and we are out the funds. We cannot afford to loose money when we are doing all we can to raise money to help peoples pets.
