There's also free microchipping.
The program not only helps people who can't afford to take their pets get checkups, it also gives community members a chance to check in with each other.
"We're out there meeting the people and because we really commit ourselves to a community, we go back and still revisit a neighborhood and the next two blocks over and the next two blocks over," Richmond added.
