I don't have any more info on this. The person who posted it never lists their sources. It is so annoying in my opinion. (besides being plagiarism.)
As matter of fact I'm just guessing that this is in Dundee, MI.

Free vet care for homeless dogs
Homeless people in Dundee are
being offered free vet care for
their dogs.
The Dogs Trust has set up
branch of its Hope Project in the
city, which allows people with
nowhere to live to register their
pets.
They can then use an entitlement
card to claim free health checks,
micro chipping, neutering,
vaccinations, worming and flea treatments.
So far, one veterinary practice has signed up for the scheme, and the
charity is looking for more.
'Only friend'
It also wants to hear from homeless support workers in Dundee who can
help administer the scheme.
Lynsey Alston from the Dogs Trust said: "We know from our
experience on the Hope Project that the bond between homeless people
and their dogs is a strong one.
"Often a dog is their owner's only friend and companion.
"Through the Hope Project Veterinary Entitlement Card Scheme
homeless dog owners can ensure that their pets have access to
preventative healthcare as well as emergency veterinary treatment,
giving them much needed reassurance that their dogs can be well cared
for."
