LEESBURG –<\/strong> For many local residents, the high cost of veterinary services is a huge problem. \u00a0A single illness or injury to a family pet can cost sometimes hundreds even thousands of dollars. \u00a0Even routine spaying or neutering can cost well over $200. For many families that results in \u00a0unspayed or neutered pets adding to the already problematic pet population, or the painful decision to have to put down a family pet that could be saved.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for the Leesburg<\/a> area, a new low-cost clinic, The Animal League Wellness Center, \u00a0will open its doors across from the VIAport Mall, at\u00a032721 Radio Road next week. \u00a0The new clinic\u00a0will celebrate its grand opening from noon to 4 p.m. on Sept. 10 with an open house event, refreshments, and tours. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

According to organizers, the clinic is an extension of the\u00a0 South Lake Animal League Shelter in Groveland, which has served the area \u00a0since 1998, and will provide low-cost\u00a0wellness checks, vaccinations, spay and neuter surgeries, flea and tick control, heartworm medicines and micro-chipping. The shelter will also offer spay and neuter service to local animal shelters.<\/p>\n

The clinic will employ a staff veterinarian on a part-time basis until October when a full-time vet will arrive to handle \u00a0check-ups and surgeries. Two nurses are in place on a volunteer basis to help with post-op services.<\/p>\n
