Animal Advocates Society of BC is very pleased to announce that we partnered with Squamish Neighbourhood Animal Partnership and Protection Society (S.N.A.P.P.S.) on a Squamish Reserves One-Day Wellness Clinic. (We also partnered with them on a Spay & Neuter / Health Campaign.)

S.N.A.P.P.S. directed the clinic and Animal Advocates Society made it possible by paying the bills.

This Wellness Clinic was very cost-effective, because the vet and the Douglas College students graciously donated their time. This meant that Animal Advocates only had to cover the supplies and treatments that were needed. This came to $771.00.

S.N.A.P.P.S. tells us: "The photos below are from the clinic, held at the Chief Joe Mathias Centre (CJMC) in April 2014. This clinic proved very successful! We saw 52 animals come through to be examined by Dr Ashley and students of Douglas College."
