Connecticut Humane Society Hosts Middletown Vaccination Clinic

NEWINGTON, Conn. (September 1, 2015) – On Saturday, August 29th, the Connecticut Humane Society (CHS) partnered with Representative Matt Lesser and the City of Middletown to host a public rabies vaccination clinic for dogs and cats at the Woodrow Wilson Middle School in Middletown.

CHS’ dedicated and experienced medical staff delivered vaccinations to 71 pets that were brought in by their owners. The rabies clinic not only ensured that the pets were protected against rabies, but that their owners remained in compliance with state law, which mandates that all pets ages three months and older be vaccinated against this deadly viral disease.

CHS is committed to providing resources and financial assistance to those pet owners who are not able to afford services obtained from a for-profit veterinary facility. In addition to this event, CHS regularly hosts low-cost public vaccine clinics at its donor-subsidized public veterinary clinic, the Fox Memorial Clinic. Information regarding these offerings can be obtained by calling the Fox Memorial Clinic at 860-594-4503 or visiting the website www.cthumane.org.

CHS thanks Boehringer Ingelheim for supplying rabies vaccines and the City of Middletown for helping promote the clinic and provide use of Woodrow Wilson Middle School.
