Brick Schedules Free Rabies Vaccination Clinic

BRICK, NJ — It's that time of year — time to renew licenses for your pet dogs and cats.

To renew their licenses (or to license them for the first time) you must provide proof of a rabies vaccination that is valid through November 2017 for a one-year license or through November 2019 for a three-year license.

If your pet needs its rabies vaccination updated, you can get it done at no cost at the township's annual free rabies vaccination clinic, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Jan. 22 at the the Drum Point Sports Complex.

It is the township's only free clinic for the 2017 licensing year. All pets must be on a short leash and accompanied by an adult.

There is no animal licensing at the clinic.

In Brick Township, all dogs and cats that 7 months of age or older must be licensed. Licenses may be obtained either by mail or at the Municipal Building, 401 Chambers Bridge Road, Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. You must provide a certificate of rabies vaccination, and, if your dog and/or cat has been spayed or neutered, you must present a statement from the veterinarian attesting to that.

Exact change, check or credit (no American Express). If requesting by mail, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

One-year spayed/neutered animal: $10
One-year nonspayed/non-neutered animal: $13
Three-year spayed/neutered animal: $26
