Protect Your Pet
In order to protect pets and people, Animal Friends hosts a series of low-cost Rabies Clinics throughout the area every summer. Pet vaccines are available for just $10 each. All dogs and cats three months of age and over will be vaccinated on a first-come, first-served basis. For safety reasons, all dogs must be on leashes and all cats in carriers.
Animal Friends encourages pet owners to protect their pets from rabies by keeping them in the house or under their supervision at all times. If you notice an animal in your yard that is behaving in an aggressive, erratic manner, report the incident to your local police or animal control agency, as it could be showing signs of rabies infection. Rabies is most commonly spread through a bite from an infected dog, cat, raccoon, fox, skunk, or bat. Left untreated, it is usually fatal.
