Free Rabies Shots for Woodbridge Pets Saturday

A reminder that Woodbridge Township will be giving free rabies shots this Saturday, Dec. 5. Bring your cat or dog to Richard Lucas Subaru (1077 Rt. 1 South in Avenel) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The first 100 people to show up will also receive a free microchip for their pet, administered by veterinarians from the Woodbridge Animal Shelter. ($25 fee after the first 100 pets). Now that a fox has been found with rabies in Colonia, a rabies vaccine is more important than ever.

All Woodbridge pet owners must license and rabies inoculate dogs and cats five months or older. If a dog or cat has not had a rabies shot since 2014/2015, the pet must be re-inoculated.

Pets must be licensed in Woodbridge Twp. to get the free rabies vaccine on Saturday. However,if your pet is not licensed, you can license them at the event (licensing fees apply). Bring dogs on leashes, and cats in enclosed carriers.
