This affordable pet vaccination clinic offers select preventive services provided by TCAP. Pets need to be alert, well hydrated, and eating and drinking normally to receive vaccines. Every animal is seen by a wellness veterinarian before care, and vaccinations are not administered while a pet remains in a vehicle. The clinic focuses on preventive services that align with TCAP's mission, so comprehensive physical exams and problem-focused consultations should be handled by a full-service veterinarian. For safety while waiting, bring dogs on short, secure leashes that are not retractable, and transport cats in carriers. Keep pets under control to prevent incidents with other animals or people. TCAP and Gloria Dei are not responsible for the actions of other pets or customers in line.

Enjoy an easygoing morning on the water with a welcoming group of paddlers. Bring a kayak or paddleboard, launch together, move at a relaxed pace, take in the scenery, and connect with others, whether you are just starting out or have plenty of experience. Many attendees like to go out for lunch after the paddle. For safety, every participant must have a life jacket available, wearing it is optional as long as it remains within reach. Lake-ready water shoes are strongly encouraged to make launching and landing safer and more comfortable. Remember to bring water and sunscreen, and arrive with a positive attitude.
