The first is September 10 with the West Deerfield Township and Deerfield Park District at Brickyards Park, adjacent to the Patty Turner Senior Center, 375 Elm Street, in Deerfield. The second is September 24 with the Avon Foundation at Hart Woods, located at the Round Lake Park District, Route 134 and Hart Road, in Round Lake. Each clinic is held from 9 a.m. until noon.

Each clinic provides a convenient and affordable way for Lake County residents to keep pets up to date with shots and rabies tags.
