Animal Disease Control and the Onondaga County Health Department are gearing up for the second of 15 area clinics offering free rabies shots for dogs and cats owned by Onondaga county residents. The first clinic of 2010 was held on March 6th at the CNYSPCA in Mattydale.
The second clinic is scheduled on Thursday evening, April 15 from 5-7pm at the Meachem Ice Rink, 121 W Seneca Turnpike. Meachem Rink is located in Syracuse's Valley neighborhood on the southwest side of the city.
County residents can bring their cat(s) or dog(s) on leash or in carriers. Owners should keep their pets close while in the clinic, since large numbers of dogs and cats will be present. Bring each pet's past shot records to the clinic. All shots are free for pets owned by Onondaga county residents, but clinics will accept a voluntary donation per family. For more information, contact Animal Disease Control at 315-435-3165.
NY State Public Health Law requires rabies shots for puppies and kittens by the time they are 3 months of age, with booster shots when they are one year old. After the booster shot, all cats and dogs require a new rabies shot every three years. Ferrets require rabies shots annually.
