Fred SPCA Locke Community Medical Center has now been open and fully operational for one year. This is after a brief closure to renovate a 1200 sq. ft. expansion. The additional wing was made possible through a generous bequest from dearly departed Mary Alice Pates. The Fred SPCA Locke Community Medical Center’s mission is to increase access to affordable veterinary care and offer a wider range of services, such as diagnostic imaging and dental care. Now open Tuesday – Friday for appointments and twice-monthly, drop-in, exam fee-waived vaccine clinics.

“This would have never been possible without the generosity of one of our dearly beloved long-time Fred SPCA supporters, Mary Alice Pates. We have named the wing in honor of Mary Alice, now formally known as the Pates Wing,” says Carrie Withers, Executive Director at the Fredericksburg SPCA. “We are able to continue our mission of providing affordable veterinary medicine to the Fredericksburg region.”
