County Animal Care Foundation Grants $370,000 to Boost Vet@ThePark Initiative

The Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation or ACF has approved $370,000 in funding to support the Vet@ThePark program operated by the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control or DACC.

Vet@ThePark provides free veterinary exams, microchips, food and vaccinations for dogs and cats.

Vet@ThePark is a community-focused initiative in which DACC brings veterinary and pet care services to local community parks where pet owners can have easier access to veterinary services and resources. As many as 400 pets are seen at each event. DACC retains several veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians, as well as DACC staff and volunteers, to staff these large events. DACC utilizes two state of-the-art veterinary mobile medical vehicles also donated by ACF for this purpose, as well as pop-up veterinary exam stations, to serve the large number of pet owners.
