FORT LAUDERDALE - Two animal welfare organizations are bringing a new mobile pet clinic to various stops around South Florida to offer low-cost spaying and neutering, testing, vaccinations and micro-chipping for dogs and cats.

The Clydey Foundation and Stray Aid will have their 30-foot mobile clinic at the National Guard Armory, 400 SW 24th St. in Fort Lauderdale today, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Appointments for services can be made at the website www.strayaid.org or by calling or texting 954-816-0799. More than 20 pets have reservations to be spayed or neutered today.

The Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic and Community Outreach Center is a medical center on wheels that will be able to care for up to 50 pets per day and will travel throughout the tri-county area, according to officials.
Many people can't afford quality care for their pets, said Sharon Jacobson of the Clydey Foundation. "It's our mission to bring animals a better quality of life through population management and public education."

Added Diane Fraser of Stray Aid: "This new clinic will greatly reduce unnecessary euthanasia, births and deaths which ultimately results in a more stable and healthy dog and cat population in South Florida."

According to officials, when not preventing births, the mobile clinic will be used for community events and disaster relief efforts.
