Rabies Vaccination Clinic

On Saturday, February 6, 2010, Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services (HCPHES) Veterinary Public Health division will be sponsoring a low cost rabies vaccination clinic at HCPHES Veterinary Public Health Animal Shelter located at 612 Canino Road, Houston, TX 77076.

Vaccination clinic hours are from 11:00am – 4:00pm and rabies 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 pets’ 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 pet carriers. If neither is available to the cat owner, a pillowcase or onion sack works well for short-term confinement.

For your safety, your pets’ health, and your community, bring your pet to the vaccination clinic and get their rabies shots.
