Rabies vaccinations/medical exam/microchips/City dog licenses provided to 302 pets. Since 2015 this program has provided services to 1424 pets. Medical care/emergency care provided to over 70 pets. Friends received a grant from the Legacy Foundation of Southeast Arizona to help offset the cost of rabies vaccinations for the Animal Control Officers (ACO) from Huachuca City and Bisbee. The Cities provided funds and combined with the grant funds, the ACOs from these Cities are now protected from rabies as they execute their duties protecting the citizens of their communities. Continued support to these efforts. Current effort is to fund medical equipment for surgical clinic additional at the Nancy J. Brua Animal Care Center to support on site care of pets so pets don't have to be transported to local vet clinics.
