The
Towns of Madison, Clinton, and Guilford in cooperation with the
Connecticut Veterinary Medical Association, hold a
rabies vaccination clinic on a Saturday, April 12, 2008 in the Gym at the Town Campus in
Madison (Exit 62; North to Campus Drive). Dogs must
be on leashes and cats must be in carriers. There are
no residency requirements.
The
fee is $15.00 CASH ONLY. Pet owners who are on public
assistance are permitted to have one pet vaccinated at
no
charge by showing their State Public Assistance
Identification
Card to the Clinic
Coordinator.
Written
proof, either a valid rabies certificate or dog
license
showing a prior vaccination must be presented
to qualify
for a three-year vaccination. Otherwise, a
one-year
vaccination will be given. Tags are not
sufficient
proof for a three-year
vaccination.
According
to Connecticut State Law, all dogs and
cats,
three
months of age or older must be vaccinated
against
rabies.
Because
rabies is a public health threat it is important to
protect
your pets from this virus. Protecting your
pets also
helps to maintain a barrier between humans
and possible rabid wildlife.
