Free Spay and Neuter Clinics Offered in Mecca and Thermal This Weekend

The Riverside County Department of Animal Services is offering free spay and neuter services in the Mecca and Thermal areas this weekend, providing a valuable resource for local pet owners. The clinics are scheduled for Friday at Mecca Sports Park and Saturday at the Jerry Rummens Community Center. These services are exclusively available for animals under 20 pounds, and flat-faced breeds are excluded from the program.

To ensure broad access, there is a limit of two appointments per household and spots are limited, so interested residents are encouraged to act quickly. For further information or to secure an appointment, residents can call the number displayed on screen.

In a statement from Supervisor Manuel Perez, it was noted that additional clinics are in the planning stages and will be coming soon to more communities. This initiative reflects Riverside County’s ongoing commitment to supporting animal health and community well-being by making essential veterinary services accessible to all eligible pet owners.
