The Citywide annual Rabies Vaccination clinics start Monday in St Joseph.

The clinics, sponsored by St Joseph Animal Control along with Friends of the Shelter, are scheduled five times across the city the next couple weeks.

All dogs and cats three months of age or older are required to be vaccinated against rabies and registered with the City. Registration tags are valid for one year or when the vaccination expires.

Vaccinations are $5 per animal, $15 for pets not yet spayed or neutered. Combination vaccinations are available for an additional $10. 

All pets must be under adult supervision. Dogs must be leashed, and cats must be in  pet carriers.  For more information, call 271-4877.
