Susan, one of our winners, with her beautiful, completed rain barrel
There have been many wonderful changes to the SPCA campus. One of those is the landscaping around our Medical Center, Adoption Center and new Education and Administration Center. This completed beautification project has increased our water usage greatly. To help lessen the demand on our water supply, we have recently acquired six 55-gallon rain barrels with the help of an anonymous donor. Placing these rain barrels underneath our gutters can provide a barrel full of rain water in a downpour, which in turn can be used in practical ways such as watering our new Florida-friendly plants and flowers!
Instead of placing these plain, “boring”, blue barrels out right away, we held a contest among our volunteers to decorate them with the SPCA logo and mission in mind. Over 20 designs were submitted, and on May 18 the Board of Directors voted on those submitted by: Lena Eldridge, Susan Schenk, Karen Mitchell and Emily Hendricks (she had 3 winning designs!). Currently, the winning volunteers are painting the barrels and they will soon be collecting rain drops and out for all of our visitors to see. We would like to say a special thank you to all of those who took the time to submit a design for us, and congratulations to our winners!
We have a new weekly rabies clinic that will be held every Wednesday and Saturday until further notice. As our medical center gets busier and busier, we thought this would be a great way to give the services that our clients need in the most efficient and convenient way possible.
No appointment is necessary. All canines need to be on a leash, and all felines must be in an approved carrier.
All you have to do is visit the Reva McClurg Memorial Animal Medical Center between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. every Wednesday or Saturday. Let the folks at the receptionist desk know that you are here for the Rabies Clinic. Pay for the services you need, and take your receipt to the site of the Clinic. On Wednesdays, it will be held in our Education Room and on Saturdays, it will be held in the Medical Center.
Rabies vaccinations are only $9.99 at the clinic. That’s $5 off the regular price, and microchips are only $14.99 (regularly $25). That’s a pretty sweeet deal if you ask me.
There will be pet products available for purchase and other vaccinations and testing will be available, too. Not sure how to get to us? Click here for directions.
