Military members as well as civilians are eligible to adopt animals through the facility. There is no adoption fee, and candidates need only pay for vaccinations and other requirements to make their pet in compliance with Army Regulation 40-905 and local regulations. These requirements include rabies and distemper vaccinations as well as a microchip. Spay or neuter certificates for unfixed animals must also be shown at time of adoption. The clinic is also taking an extra step to help ensure the animals won't end up back at a shelter by assessing each adoption candidate to see if the pet would be right for them.
Financial stability is a consideration.
The stray animal facility is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, call the Schofield Barracks Veterinary Clinic at 433-8532. Comments or suggestions to the Public Affairs Officer .
