Low-Cost Clinic
We offer low-cost services like vaccinations, microchips, flea/tick medications, baths, and ear cleanings to the general public - you do NOT have to live in any specific area for us to help your pet. We currently do not offer low-cost spay/neuter to the public.
ALL fees come as a donation to us to help fund our mission to care for more animals!
Please keep in mind that you should still continue to visit a veterinarian annually for checkups, as it’s important to ensure that your pet is in good health.
To schedule an appointment, please contact Laura at (626) 374-1551 or at gllca@aol.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are vaccines?
Vaccines are health products that cause your pet's immune system to build up antibodies that can fight off diseases in the future. Vaccines help also reduce the severity of future diseases and can even prevent them.
2. Why should I vaccinate?
Vaccinating your pets can help prevent them from contracting highly contagious and even deadly diseases that can easily be prevented by these vaccinations that are available to them. Vaccinating is especially important for puppies and kittens that are exposed to other animals when they're young because they haven't built strong immune systems yet. Vaccinating from our shelter also helps us fund spay and neuter initiatives and other projects.
3. Doesn't a veterinarian have to administer vaccines and microchips?
No, vaccinations are very easy to administer and are nearly painless because dogs and cats have thicker skin than we do. Veterinary offices typically have RVTs (registered veterinary technicians) and veterinary assistants administer vaccinations and microchips. Rabies shots are the only vaccinations that are required by law that veterinarians perform, and we don't provide them at our shelter to the general public.
4. What is a microchip, and why should I microchip?
A microchip is a rice-sized chip implanted under the skin that stores your contact information. In the case that your pet gets lost and loses his or her collar, a vet or a shelter can scan your pet for a microchip and locate your contact information to notify you. All shelters upon intake will scan any animal for a microchip. If your pet was found by someone, your information is not released immediately to the person who found your pet - instead, the finder must contact the microchip company to have them reach out to you, so your information is safe and secure. We recommend EVERY animal gets microchipped! A one-time $35 for a lifetime safety insurance for your pet is well worth it if they ever get lost!
