Dakin Humane Society plans to open pet health center in Springfield

The pet health center will be located at Dakin Humane Society's Springfield location on Union Street.

Dakin got a $250K grant to set up the clinic for dogs and cats

An animal welfare organization in western Massachusetts is planning to open a pet health center.

The Dakin Humane Society is going to operate a veterinary clinic for dogs and cats at its shelter in Springfield. It will provide nonemergency services including physicals, vaccinations, and routine surgeries.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Dr. Jack Muth, Dakin’s Public Medical and Education Director.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
