Annual Rabies Vaccination Clinic to be Held on April 12th

The Medfield Animal Shelter will be holding a low cost rabies clinic
on Saturday April 12, 2014 at the shelter.  The rabies clinic is open
to all pet owners and the cost is $10 per pet.  To receive a three
year vaccination you must bring your certificate from your pet's last
rabies vaccination, or the vaccination will only be good for one year.
 Medfield dog licenses will also be available at the clinic.  Dr.
Heather Cochran, DVM will be vaccinating cats from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30
a.m. and dogs from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.  All dogs must be leashed
and cats must be in carriers.  The Shelter is located at 101 Old
Bridge Street (one driveway past 99 West St. on the same property as
the Waste Water Treatment Plant) in Medfield.  You can find driving
directions on medfieldshelter.com.  Pets from all towns are welcome.

Rabies is an infectious and contagious disease that can be transmitted
to humans. If untreated, rabies is considered 100 percent fatal.
Keeping your pets up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations is not only
the law; it is also in the best interest of your pets and your family.
 All dogs, cats and ferrets living in Massachusetts are required by
law to be vaccinated against rabies.
