On Saturday, January 26, 2008, Harris
County Public Health and Environmental Services (HCPHES) Veterinary Public
Health Division, will be sponsoring a low cost rabies vaccination clinic at the
HCPHES Veterinary Public Health Animal Shelter,
Clinic hours are from 11:00 AM – 4:00
PM and vaccinations will cost $5.00.
County pet licenses will also be available.
All dogs and cats four months of age
and older are required to be vaccinated against rabies and licensed with the
county. Vaccination and license tags are
a pet’s ticket home should they ever become lost.
HCPHES Veterinary Public Health
requests all dogs be leashed and ALL cats be contained on leashes or in
carriers. If neither is available to the
cat owner, a pillowcase or onion sack works well for short-term
confinement.
For your safety, your pet’s health and your community, bring your pets to the vaccination clinic to get their rabies shots. For more information call HCPHES Veterinary Public Health at 281/999-3191 or log on to www.countypets.com.
