The Bradford County Humane Society and Athens Animal Hospital have once again teamed up to provide a low cost Rabies Clinic for the local community.
On Sat, October 17th from 10-Noon people may bring their leashed dogs or cats in crates to the Athens Township Building on the corner of Elmira and Herrick Ave. Patrons must also bring the pets' current rabies shot record.
The cost for the rabies vaccination is only $8.00.
"It is extremely important for animals to have a current rabies shot. Even if you think your cat is only an inside cat, or your dog would never come into contact with the rabies virus, you could be wrong. There has been some incidents of various wildlife being contaminated with rabies. The last thing you would want is to put your animals' life or your own life in danger, by your pet possibly contracting the rabies virus," states Jennifer L. Spencer, BCHS Executive Director.
Photo: Velvet is a handsome neutered male cat who has been at BCHS for 3.5 years. He is friendly without being cuddly and can be quite playful when he is in the mood. Velvet grew up at the shelter and was briefly adopted, but was stressed by the family children and hid in a closet all the time. He needs a quiet home with no small children and no dogs. Velvet will be sociable when he has had time to get comfortable and would be happy to share his people with other cats.
