Rabies clinic next Saturday
A Community Rabies Clinic is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, at the Roanoke Civic Center. The clinic will provide rabies shots for $5 for dogs and cats and $10 for ferrets.
All pooches must be on a leash and kitties and ferrets must be in carriers. Pregnant animals will not be vaccinated, but nursing moms can be. All pets have to be at least three months old to get the shot.
If this is your pet's first vaccine, the inoculation is valid for one year. If your pet has had a shot before, bring your vaccine certificate with you.
The Roanoke City and County Treasurer's Offices will also have staffers available to issue your dog and cat tags after the pets are vaccinated.
Cash is the only form of payment accepted for the vaccines. Cash or checks will be accepted to pay the license fees.
For more information, call the Health Department at 857-7800, ext. 124.

Nona : →http://blogs.roanoke.com/thehappywag/Please excuse me if you saw this an hour ago and questioned my ability to read a calendar. The clinic is April 5, which is indeed next Saturday, not this Saturday. Unless, of course, you read this next week, in which case... Oh, never mind.
