The Quad City Animal Welfare Center (QCAWC), the Humane Society of Scott County, St. Anthony Catholic Church and St. John Vianney Catholic Church are hosting Vax & Wags, a free vaccine clinic for dogs on Saturday, October 3, from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at St. Anthony Catholic Church, 417 North Main Street in Davenport.
The event makes essential veterinary care more accessible to local pet families by providing free rabies and distemper/parvo vaccines for dogs. The clinic will provide up to 200 free rabies vaccines and 200 free distemper/parvo vaccines while supplies last. QCAWC’s Mobile Vet Van and veterinary team will be on site administering vaccines and helping pet guardians throughout the event.
All dogs attending Vax & Wags must be on a secure leash. Retractable leashes will not be permitted for the safety of the dogs, their families, volunteers and veterinary team. There will be a special Blessing of the Animals at 10 a.m.
“At QCAWC, we believe access to basic veterinary care should not be out of reach for families who love their pets,” said Patti McRae, Executive Director of the Quad City Animal Welfare Center. “Vaccinations are an important part of keeping dogs healthy and protecting our community. We are grateful to our partners for coming together to make this free event possible.”

“How Has NO ONE Applied?”: Little Mandy Is Still Waiting for Someone to Choose Her
Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, says it can’t understand why a small senior dog named Mandy has drawn no interest, posting an emotional plea that begins, “How has NO ONE applied for this girl?! Not a single application, phone call, nothing. What? How? WHY?” The shelter describes Mandy as an affectionate “velcro pup” who “will glue herself to you and never leave,” adding that while she enjoys walks “at a brisk dawdle,” she’d “much rather be in your lap or curled up next to you, as long as she’s touching you somehow.”
