Guardians of Rescue to Host Free Pet Clinic at Indian Reservation this Saturday

The Guardians of Rescue are traveling to the Poospatuck Indian Reservation this Saturday, April 13th to provide vaccines and free microchips to the furry friends of the residents.

According to the United States Census Bureau, 324 people live on the 55 acre Poospatuck Indian Reservation in Suffolk County, New York. The Guardians of Rescue are traveling to the Reservation on Saturday, April 13th to provide vaccines and free microchips to the furry friends of the residents. 

 

Guardians of Rescue will be providing vaccines for the most common diseases such as Parvovirus and Distemper to the animals. Microchips assist in reunite lost and runaway dogs and cats with their owners. Animal control is able to scan microchips when lost pets are found and return them to their owner quickly, allowing more space at animal shelters and prevent more animals from being euthanized.

Guardians of Rescue will also be handing out free spaying/neutering for pets, as well as pet food. The event is being fully funded by Guardians of Rescue, but donations are encouraged as well as the opportunity to sponsor an animal in need.

 

“The Reservation doesn’t have the municipality resources, so they benefit from having our organization coming in to provide these services to keep their pets happy and healthy.” said Robert Misseri, President of Guardians of Rescue.

 

The Guardians of Rescue recently sponsored a fellow animal rescue organization in New Jersey through the free microchipping service and vaccination of animals. They are eager to continue helping animals and providing services to animals. For more information, visit the site at www.guardiansofrescue.org.
