NORTH PORT — Suncoast Humane Society is again offering a low-cost microchip and vaccination clinic at the society’s North Port Thrift Store, from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. The thrift store is located at 14942 Tamiami Trail.

Special vaccination packages will be available for as low as $39 for canines and $28 for felines. Rabies vaccinations will be given for $8. In addition, flea, tick and heartworm prevention will also be available for purchase. Your pet can be microchipped for only $25.

Microchipping is an important measure that can be taken to better assure the safe return of your pet in time of displacement. This is especially important in our area where we may experience hurricanes and severe weather, Humane Society officials say.

Dr. Randy Hitesman, SHS’s veterinarian, will lead the medical team in conducting the event. All proceeds will benefit the animals at SHS.

The Society’s thrift store will be open for business during the event. Donate items for sale, and/or seek quality items at bargain-basement prices.
