ANIMAL FRIENDS OF THE VALLEYS SPAY/NEUTER AND VACCINATION CLINIC

Lake Elsinore location temporarily closed to the public

WILDOMAR, CA—Animal Friends of the Valleys (AFV) is leading the charge in stopping pet-over population and animal cruelty. The non-profit animal shelter which serves six (6) Southern California cities and rural county area is in the process of building a brand new spay/neuter and vaccination clinic next to the animal shelter on Mission Trail.  The expected completion is October/November 2023.  Recently the clinic veterinarian resigned, giving 3 weeks’ notice.  Since that time AFV has been diligently working on replacement options.  We are in contract negotiations with relief vets and veterinarian partners throughout the valley.  The priority will be to service the shelter pets and then open space to the public as availability increases.  More information will be posted on our website and social media pages as it becomes available.  In the meantime, if you would like to donate to the building of our new spay/neuter and vaccination clinic, please go to:  www.afv.org

Animal Friends of the Valleys is dedicated to promoting the humane care of animals through education and a pro-active rescue, health and emergency services program. We are committed to preventing the suffering of animals and to ending pet overpopulation in the six (6) Southern California communities we serve. Our vision is to be recognized as one of the leading shelters in the nation by providing a safe haven for animals and full-service animal care facility that offers quality, affordable care to all.
