Low Cost Rabies Clinic at Medfield Animal Shelter

The event will be held on March 28.

The Medfield Animal Shelter will be holding a low cost rabies clinic on Saturday, March 28.

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 the 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 St. (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.
