See below for our vaccine clinic procedures!
Our vaccine clinics are typically held on the 3rd Sunday of each month from 11am to 3pm at our shelter, but holidays or vet availability sometimes necessitate a change. The next clinic date is always listed at the top of this page, so please be sure to check!
Our vaccine clinics are Appointment Only - No Exceptions!
Unfortunately, we cannot accept walk-ins as all of our appointments are tightly scheduled. Appointments will be scheduled in 3-minute increments for up to four animals. If you need services for more than four animals, you must register for a second time slot. You do not need to be a resident of Madison or Oglethorpe counties to utilize our vaccine clinics, our clinic services are open to everyone.
You must pre-pay for all of the services you need in order to get an appointment.
***After you pay you will immediately receive an email with instructions on how to select your appointment time.***
In order for our clinics to run smoothly, everything must be paid for online in advance. If you have questions about what your pet needs, please contact the shelter before you pay as you will not be able to make changes the day of. However, if you would like to buy heartworm preventatives after your pet’s negative heartworm test, we are happy to arrange that. If you need to add
Additional Requirements:
You will have a specific time slot for your appointment. Please know that even though you have an appointment, there may be a brief wait to see the veterinarian since our furry patients aren’t always as cooperative as we’d like. But we will see everyone as quickly as possible as scheduled and in the order that they have arrived.
You must arrive during your allotted time slot to receive service. Those who arrive early or late will be worked in when and if possible but may experience a significant wait due to tight scheduling.
All dogs must be on a leash with a tight collar or harness to prevent accidental escapes (yes, it happens!), and all cats must be in a carrier - no exceptions.
As of July 6, 2023, your dog(s) will also be required to wear a separate slip lead as a backup leash for safety reasons to prevent dogs from accidentally slipping out of their collars.
Scheduling Your Appointment:
First, decide what vaccines your pet(s) need. Then select each item below and pay online.
Second, once you’ve paid, you will immediately receive a confirmation email with a link to schedule your own appointment. PLEASE schedule your appointment as soon as you pay, if you delay this step you create more work last minute work for our staff. Double check the spelling of your email for any typos to make sure you get your confirmation email. If you do not receive that email, please check your SPAM folder and then email boardpresident@moaspets.com for assistance. Please be aware that if you use Windstream for your email, it often identifies emails from MOAS as SPAM and actually rejects our emails entirely - it doesn’t even send it to your SPAM folder. As a result, we strongly encourage you to use a non-Windstream email address when you register so that we can communicate with you. Please also make sure you correctly type your email address when you order your vaccines, as that will also keep you from getting your confirmation email.
Appointments are first-come, first-served, so you’ll want to sign up early. As you’re scheduling your appointment, you should schedule yourself for one appointment only if you’re bringing 1-4 pets to the clinic. If you are bringing more than 4 pets, you should schedule them for two appointments. During your scheduling, you’ll be asked to fill out a form with information for each of your pets. Make sure that you fill out every field for each pet as we must have complete information on each of your pets to properly record their vaccines. Please do NOT put “I don’t know” or “NA” when answering the questions; just give us your best guess/estimate.
What to Expect At Our Clinic:
On the day of the clinic, please arrive as close as possible to your scheduled appointment time. People who arrive very early or late may have to wait until we can work you in. That said, if you have one of the last appointments for the day, please do not be late. Our veterinarian volunteers his time and leaves promptly at the end of the clinic or after the last schedule patient is seen. If you arrive late to your appointment, you may not be able to receive treatment.
When you arrive, you will check in with our volunteers at the start of our parking lot. They will give you a laminated yellow card with your appointment number to put on your windshield. They will then direct you to one of the three lanes in front of you. A different volunteer will then check you in and review the services that you paid for. Please let our volunteer know if what they review with you is incorrect or not what you expected/wanted.
As of July 6, 2023, you will be given a separate slip lead to put on your dog(s) as a backup leash for safety reasons to prevent dogs from accidentally slipping out of their collars.
After which, you will wait with your animal(s) in your car until directed by staff or volunteers to bring your animal(s) to the clinic door. You will give your animal(s) to staff at the clinic door and wait outside while they receive their vaccinations. It usually just takes a few minutes before your animal is brought out and then you’re free to leave.
If you are getting heartworm testing or FIV/FeLV testing, you can choose to either wait for your test results or have them emailed to you later.
