Local Veterinary Clinic Fights Global Rabies Crisis Through Partnership with Rabies Free Africa

📢SouthCare Animal Medical Center contributes to life-saving vaccination programs across Africa.

🌍As World Rabies Day approaches on September 28, 2025, our local veterinary clinic has joined more than 200 clinics nationwide in a partnership to eliminate rabies deaths across the African continent.

🐶For every for every vaccination administered at their local practice, SouthCare Animal Medical Center donates $1 to the Rabies Free Africa program, which provides lifesaving vaccinations in Kenya and Tanzania. Additionally, they pair with Merck Animal Health to double their donation for every rabies vaccine given in the hospital, Merck donates a vial to their Afya program which focuses on rabies vaccination in Asia, Africa and beyond.

💉Although entirely preventable, rabies remains a significant global health threat, killing up to 159,000 people annually worldwide. Over 99% of human rabies cases are transmitted by dogs, making dog vaccination programs the most effective prevention strategy.

📱Through innovative smartphone-based dog identification systems and community outreach, Washington State University’s Rabies Free Africa works to eliminate this preventable disease at its source.

😻"Here at SouthCare, it's important to us to not only help pets and their people live better lives in the Spokane area- but world wide. It's our duty as members of the veterinary community to do all that we can to save lives from preventable diseases such as rabies. During the month of September we double our donation to $2 per vaccine to help support this monumental effort to irradicate rabies by 2030."
