North Beach PAWS Launches First of Three 2025 Low-Cost Dog and Cat Vaccination Clinics in Grays Harbor

Low-Cost Vaccinations and Microchipping Set for July 12 at The Grange in Elma for Just $20 Each

North Beach PAWS will kick off its 2025 series of low-cost pet vaccination clinics for dogs and cats on Saturday, July 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Grange, 401 W. Waldrip St., in Elma

Vaccinations and microchips are $20 each. Core vaccines include rabies, DAPP, and Bordetella for dogs, and rabies and FVRCP for cats. Parasite treatment for cats to prevent fleas, ticks, roundworms, hookworms, and ear mites will also be available for $20.

North Beach PAWS, an all-volunteer, no-kill animal shelter based in Hoquiam, is expanding its community outreach after a record-setting year: the organization served more than 600 pets in 2024, doubling its impact from the year before.

“The demand for low-cost vaccinations and microchipping has grown in our community,” said Carol Jamroz, President. North Beach PAWS is pleased to partner with veterinary practitioners from across the county to provide basic preventative care for family dogs and cats.”

Washington State law requires all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies. Other diseases such as distemper are prevalent in wildlife and can infect unvaccinated pets. Thanks to vaccinations, numerous common diseases are entirely preventable. A microchip is the only permanent identification that can reunite you with your beloved lost pet. Unlike collars and ID tags that can break or get lost, a microchip will last for the life of your pet.

“We know that veterinary care is expensive, and cost shouldn’t be a barrier to protecting your pet,” said Nanette Sparrow, Dog Shelter Manager. “These low-cost vaccination clinics make it possible for more families to keep their pets healthy and protected from preventable diseases.”
