ARF believes in the power of the human-animal bond, and that cost of care should never keep Veterans from this benefit. ARF offers free vaccine and wellness clinics to Veterans' companion animals. Spay/neuter services are scheduled for Veteran clients as needed. ARF's free veterinary wellness exams and vaccinations for Veterans' pets are available for dogs or cats only.
