The government vet offer free rabies vaccines but not the combination vaccines which are more important with keeping animals in close quarters like a shelter. The government vets have helped us in the past and we have bought our own vaccines and they have made trips to vaccinate animals en mass on occasion.
They are also useful for neutering stray cats but unfortunately we have had bad experiences with them in the past and are not prepared to have our animals neutered there anymore. Trying to perform surgery on an un-sedated dog is unforgivable in our books and so our animals have anything surgical done at the private vets. Luckily Xena had stayed with him and was able to rush him to another vets where they knocked him out and did the neutering properly.
And no they won't euthanise. But they will call us and ask us to take animals from them!!!
