JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - With inflation driving up prices for food, gasoline, and other necessities, it’s hard for some to make ends meet. But pet owners can get a little relief.

Dr. Laura Dacus, DVM, will provide rabies, canine 5-in-1, Bordetella, and feline 3-in-1 vaccinations along with heartworm tests. Each shot costs $10.

• Low income
• Disabled
• Elderly
• Unemployed
• U.S. Veteran or active spouse
