Mobile Clinic

Please click here for the most up-to-date information on operations during COVID-19.

The Mobile Clinic targets regions of Contra Costa County with high surrender rates and low-income residents who cannot otherwise access affordable services, and works with our partners at the Departments of Veterans Affairs to administer wellness checks for the pets of veterans.

ARF's 33-foot, custom-built, state-of-the-art Stephen Ball Mobile Clinic is named in memory of Stephen Ball with gratitude for his generous legacy gift, a reflection of his love for nature and animals.

Included

Microchipping services are included. We will need your email address to register the microchip. Also included for dog surgeries is Post-operative Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) medication. Unfortunately, the vehicle is too limited on space to include e-collars, but as we are normally parked outside of Pet Food Express, you should be able to purchase one there if it is needed.

Free Vaccines and Wellness Exams for Veterans' Pets

ARF offers free veterinary wellness exams and vaccinations to all veterans' pets (dogs or cats) through our mobile clinics held at regional VA Medical Centers near ARF headquarters. Cost of care should never keep veterans from this benefit.

Check-in begins at 8:45 am and continues until FULL. Services are first-come, first-served and capacity is limited. Please arrive early and stand in line before check-in begins. We are unable to accommodate clients after capacity is met.
