You must schedule an appointment before arriving. You may schedule only one animal per 6 minute time slot. To try to reach the most number of families possible, you may only use up to three total time slots. Services available as supplies last.  If you bring your cat, please keep it in a carrier, kennel or crate. Dogs must be on a collar and leash or harness. Scroll down for pricing and a link to our sign-up form.

Great River Rescue is not a veterinary service. If follow-up services are needed, you will need to schedule an appointment with your own vet.

Procedural Guidelines:

  • Upon arrival, remain in your vehicle. We will come to you. We will take your pet directly from your vehicle. Please have your dog on a secure leash and collar/harness. All cats must be in a secured carrier. If you have multiple pets, we will take one at a time.
  • After your pet’s appointment, we will return your pet to your vehicle. We can accept payment directly at vehicle. Cash, credit or debit will be accepted.
  • As much as possible, paperwork and financial transactions will occur remotely. Clients will register through our ClinicHQ system and be able to sign their form, make payments, and receive post-clinic documentation via email.
  • To prevent the potential spread of COVID-19, if you have experienced symptoms of illness in the past 14 days, do not bring your pet to our clinic. If your pet has been around someone experiencing symptoms within the last 14 days, do not bring your pet to our clinic. Thank you for understanding and respecting this policy.

    I have 2 chihuahua mixes, can I bring them together?

    • Yes, but they would need two separate time slots when you make your appointment. Enter and submit information for one dog, then submit information for the other.
