The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary (CVHAS) and Newtown Senior Center co-hosted a Pet Wellness Clinic on March 27.

“It really was a nice way to see the community coming together,” said Jennifer Hubbard — the president and executive director of CVHAS, named after her daughter.

Newtown Senior Center Assistant Director Judy Thomas said it was “a pleasure” to house the Pet Wellness Clinic at the center and to work with CVHAS.

Veterinarians Dr Nicole Sabo of Vet Care Everywhere and Dr Emily Dae Andersen of House Call Veterinarian ran the clinic.

Near the end of the event Sabo said it went “great.” They were able to offer support for local seniors with pets thanks to Spay & Neuter Association of Newtown covering the costs, according to Hubbard and Thomas.

Sabo said 22 animals were vaccinated for rabies thanks to the clinic.

“We made a big impact here today,” said Sabo.
