A modern surgery clinic adjacent to the shelter kennels was opened in the late 1980s and continues to offer neutering, spaying, and vaccine clinics. According to Harry D. Brown III, shelter executive director, approximately 2,000 animals were treated at the surgery center and vaccine clinics last year by veterinarians from the VCA (Veterinary Clinics of America) Detwiler Animal Hospital in Reading and the VCA Cacoosing Animal Hospital in Wernersville.

  When you adopt your new pet from the Animal Rescue League, the surgery center provides free spaying/neutering/microchipping and an Advantage flea treatment.
