North Brevard S.P.C.A. Press Releases

April 19, 2022 Melbourne, Florida – The SPCA of Brevard is hosting a free drive-through vaccine and microchip clinic on Saturday, April 30th, at Wickham Park from 10 am – 2pm. It will be the first of several free clinics hosted as part of their new CommUNITY initiative. They will be offering rabies vaccines, as well as distemper vaccines to dogs and FVRCP vaccines to cats, while supplies last. Additionally, they have 500 microchips for pets in need at no cost to their families.

“A major part of the SPCA’s mission has become keeping pets with their families,” says Susan Naylor, associate director, “We know that providing basic vet care to pets can be a stretch for some people’s budgets and if we can alleviate that worry, it can help people keep the pets that they love so much. That’s why we formed our CommUNITY initiative. Regardless of people’s backgrounds, we know that our pets are a common bond for everyone and it’s our goal to help people keep their pets.”

This event has been sponsored in part by Petco Love, the Banfield Foundation, Boehringer Ingelheim, and the SPCA of Brevard’s Cheney Animal Clinic. For the safety of everyone, the SPCA requests that all dogs be on securely fitting collars and leashes (no flexi-leads) and that cats and puppies be in carriers. For additional information, please call 321-567-3615 ext 245.

SPCA Announces Rebrand for its Clinic

June 8, 2021 Titusville, Florida – The SPCA of Brevard Wellness and Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic announces its name change to Cheney Animal Clinic. The practice, located at 455 Cheney Highway in Titusville, has become known over the years for being a trusted resource for pet parents in the area.

“We wanted to convey to the public that we’re so much more than simply a spay/neuter and vaccine clinic,” says Dr. Nermin Massoud, medical director for Cheney Animal Clinic. “Our facility offers not only wellness appointments, but also diagnostic, surgical, and occasional emergency treatments for the overall health of our clients’ pets.”

In 2020, the clinic performed over 17,000 surgeries, which includes spay/neuter, mass removals, amputations, mastectomies, dentals, wound repair, and more. Clients are seen on a daily basis for wellness exams, diagnostics, and more.

“The change in name simply reflects the ability to serve our clients’ pets in a full capacity. The clinic’s purpose has been and will always be to support the SPCA of Brevard’s mission of protecting and providing a voice for homeless animals,” says Lacie Davis, executive director. “One hundred percent of the profits from Cheney Animal Clinic will continue to fund the lifesaving work of the SPCA of Brevard.”

To schedule an appointment, contact 321-269-0536 or schedule online at www.cheneyanimalclinic.org. There is a ribbon cutting scheduled on Wednesday, August 18th at 4 pm, which will be open to the public.
