Now there's no excuse for risking your pet's health and well-being or violating local ordinances requiring annual rabies vaccinations for your dog or cat. "Gilmer lady veterinarian" Dr. Cherie Nazzal Hobbs, DVM, will be offering low-cost pet vaccinations at Petco in Longview. An entire vaccination series for your pet, including rabies, is just $30. Proceeds benefit the Humane Society of Northeast Texas.

So, catch your canine and crate your cat and drive over to Petco on Loop 281 (across from Toys R Us and Red Lobster) from noon to 2 p.m. on the following Saturdays: April 26th, June 28th, August 30th, and October 25th, 2008. Your pets (and our shelter) will thank you for it!
