PORT ANGELES — Dr. Joel Cuthbert of Gig Harbor prepared a full-sized dog to be spayed with assistance from Dr. Laura Monahan of Sequim during a two-day clinic this weekend inside the Home Arts building at the Clallam County Fairgrounds.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office sponsored the event, and nine volunteer veterinarians performed spay/neuter surgeries.

More than 150 dogs and many cats came to the clinic starting at $50 each for vaccinations and microchips. Many animal rescue groups such as the Welfare for Animals Guild and Central Valley Animal Rescue came together for the event. More than 60 volunteers helped in the clinic.

“This clinic represents an extraordinary collaboration and commitment to reducing unwanted pet populations, improving pet health, and supporting families throughout Clallam County,” the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office said. “Thank you to our veterinary teams, volunteers, and community partners for making this possible.”
