Rabies and other Vaccinations


Clinics are held monthly in different locations throughout Madison County, on the third Saturday of each month, between 10am and 1pm. Low-cost rabies and other routine vaccinations are offered for dogs and cats. A vet is on hand to administer the vaccinations. You will be given documentation for the rabies shot, and you are responsible for keeping this documentation for your future use. (We are unable to provide copies of your documentation to you in the event that you misplace it.) Schedule for 2012 January and February: no clinics due to winter weather.

Read the story about the cat in the photo below: Photo credit: Mariela Lombard for newyorkdailynews.com The calico cat pictured above is named Willow and in mid-September, 2011, appeared on many major news programs because of being found in New York City. But Willow had gone missing from her home in Colorado five years earlier, and the imbedded microchip enabled a New York City animal shelter to contact her owners in Colorado, who thought they'd never see her again. Story with a happy ending! And all because of the microchip.
