FREE Rabies Vaccine Clinic
Saturday, January 8

A FREE Rabies Vaccination Clinic for cats and dogs will take place this Saturday, January 8 from 1-3 p.m. at the Township Senior Center, 3 Municipal Drive. (Entrance at the rear of the building)

All pet owners will need to complete a Rabies Vaccination Form prior to their pet receiving the vaccine. Forms will be provided at the clinic. All known dog owners were also mailed the form and licensing information this week.

Rabies certificates will be emailed or mailed (if a self-addressed stamped envelope is provided) within seven days of the clinic. This is being done to minimize the number of people at the clinic and to avoid prolonged face-to-face contact.

There will be NO dog licensing at the clinic. Residents are encouraged to mail or drop off their dog licensing information by January 31 to avoid a $5 late fee.
