Howell Offering Free Rabies Vaccination Clinic

HOWELL, NJ — Howell Township will host its annual free rabies vaccination clinic on Saturday, March 1, the township announced.

The clinic, which is open to anyone whose dog or cat needs a rabies vaccination, is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Howell Public Works Garage, 278 Old Tavern Road.

In case of bad weather, the clinic would be held on Saturday, March 8.

If your pet has received a rabies vaccination before, please bring proof and they will receive a 3-year vaccination; if this is their initial vaccination or if proof of previous vaccination is not available, they will receive a 1-year vaccination.

For Howell residents, if the rabies vaccination of your dog or cat expires before January 2026, the pet's vaccination will need to be updated before you can get a 2025 pet license in Howell, town officials said.

Howell pet owners wishing to license their dog or cat after receiving the vaccination should bring cash or a check payable to Howell Township to pay the license fee. Credit cards cannot be accepted at the clinic.

The license fees are as follows:

• $14 for a spayed/neutered dog
• $17 for a non-spayed/non-neutered dog
• $4 for a spayed/neutered cat
• $6 for a non-spayed/non-neutered cat
