Low Cost Rabies Vaccinations- and $10 spaying or neutering

This is certainly timely in light of John's recent post about pet legislation- for all you people out there feeding the ferral cats- just an idea..............


Broward County Animal Care to Offer Low-Cost Rabies Vaccinations to Broward County Dogs and Cats, Saturday, March 14


This was an E-Mail from County Commissioner Rodstrom’s office

Broward County Animal Care and Regulation will hold a Rabies Clinic on Saturday, March 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Roosevelt Park, 2841 N.W. 11th St., Fort Lauderdale. At the clinic, pet owners will be able to get their pet vaccinated against rabies. In addition, they will receive a Broward County pet license. Cost for the vaccination and license is $15 per pet -- cash only. "Rabies is one of the deadliest of diseases, but also is easy to prevent," said Dr. Tim Johnston, veterinarian of Animal Care and Regulation. "A simple yearly vaccination is all it takes to ensure the health and safety of our pets and our residents."


In addition, attendees will be able to register their pet to be spayed or neutered -- fixed -- for $10 through the County's S.P.O.T. (Stop Pet Overpopulation Together) Program. To qualify to attend the rabies clinic, a pet owner must prove they are a Broward County resident by producing a valid Florida driver's license or a current utility bill. In addition, the pet owner must bring proof that they meet low-income guidelines based on income and family size by producing a current pay check stub, or prove that they are receiving: • Public assistance or food stamps • Worker's compensation or unemployment • Social Security or Disability No appointment is necessary and customers are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. All dogs must be on leashes and all cats must be in carriers. For more information, call 954-359-1010.
