Shelter to Offer Low-Cost Core Vaccines and Microchips for Dogs and Cats at Five Separate Locations
North Beach PAWS is set to conduct a total of five dog and cat vaccination clinics at various locations in western Washington in 2024. Vaccinations and microchips are $20 each. The core vaccines include rabies, DAPP, and Bordetella for dogs, and rabies, FVRCP, and flea treatment for cats. North Beach PAWS held two such clinics in 2023 — Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen and the Ocean Shores Lions Club in Oceans Shores, where more than 300 animals received vaccinations and/or microchips.

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.
No appointments are needed or will be accepted, the events are first come, first served. Dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in carriers. Anyone needing more information should call 360.660.4660.
