Public Health says it is important to make sure all domesticated dogs, cats, and ferrets are immunized against rabies.

Three -year vaccinations are available with a current or past rabies certificate. This is the only acceptable proof for an animal to receive a three-year vaccination certificate. The rabies tag is not acceptable proof.

Dogs and cats must be at least three months old to be vaccinated.

Animals must have a collar and leash. Cats must be in an animal carrier or a pillowcase. All animals must be under the control of an adult.

Ferrets need to be vaccinated yearly.

A suggested donation of $5 will be accepted.

Clinics subject to change or cancellation without notice. Call 386-2325 for clinic confirmation.
