Kent Animal Shelter has given discount on vaccinations to 1,000 dogs this year

By Riverhead News-Review

After more than a month of giving $10 discount vaccines to dogs, Kent Animal Shelter will have crossed the 1,000 mark for the year when its discount program concludes Sunday.

The shelter was scheduled to perform more than 160 vaccinations this weekend alone.

The affordable vaccine clinics were made possible by a $10,000 grant from the ASPCA.

While the schedule is full for the final day Sunday, shelter officials said they will try to accommodate people who call in advance at 727-7797.
