FREE PARVO/DISTEMPER VACCINES ON SEPTEMBER 20th
Vaccinations protect our pets from dangerous diseases like parvo and distemper—keeping them healthy and happy for years to come! 
KPAL Rescue will provide free vaccinations for dogs on September 20th. The free vaccines are made possible through Petco Love’s national vaccination initiative Vaccinated and Loved, which is providing free pet vaccines to existing animal welfare partners, including KPAL Rescue, for family pets in need. 
Sunday, September 20th, 2026; from 11am-2pm at our NEW KPAL Rescue Headquarters (47318 Progress Ct. #33, Soldotna, AK). This will be a drive through clinic. The free vaccine distributed at events through the Petco Love initiative will be the DAPPv Canine vaccine.
Parvovirus and distemper in dogs – the most prevalent deadly diseases affecting dogs – are preventable with a simple vaccine. An estimated 30% of pet parents do not take their pet to a veterinarian annually for preventative care. To ensure the health and wellness of our beloved pets and to address this critical need, KPAL Rescue and Petco Love have partnered to make vaccines free and accessible. 
“Big thanks to Petco Love and our volunteers for your support and for helping us continue to offer lifesaving vaccinations to community dogs at no cost to pet parents,” said the KPAL Rescue board. “We urge community members to take advantage of this no-cost resource to ensure the health and wellness of our community pets”. 
“Vaccinations are vital to protecting our beloved pets from life-threatening but preventable diseases,” said Susanne Kogut, President of Petco Love. “Our goal is to make these critical vaccines accessible to as many pet parents as possible, breaking down financial barriers and strengthening the human-animal bond.”
In November 2024, Petco Love’s Vaccinated and Loved initiative reached its need by providing an additional one million free vaccines. The campaign was launched in August 2021, encouraging Petco Love animal welfare partners to host free vaccine clinics.
