On Sat, April 16th from 10-Noon people may bring their leashed dogs or cats in crates to Bishop's True Value (the building behind the True Value Store) on Route 220 in Ulster . Patrons must also bring the pets' current rabies shot record.
The cost for the rabies vaccination is only $8.00.
This year 2016 dog licenses will also be offered to those in need. Costs vary dependent on whether the dog is altered and whether the owner is disabled or a senior citizen.
"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: Doc as been at BCHS since he was 2 months old. He is a sweet and loving kitty who can be a bit shy with new people. He likes to be cuddled and has velvety soft fur. Doc has a mellow personality and gets along great with other cats. Unfortunately, he has become stressed here at the shelter and sprays when out of his cage, so he needs a patient family who will give him time to adjust. He may need to be an inside/outside cat. Doc has been waiting a long time for the right person to find him - is it you?
BCHS will have a table set up inside Ferrario Auto Team's showroom in Towanda selling various retail items such as t-shirts, dog toys, cat toys, leashes and others to support the shelter. Bring a bag of cat food, dog food, bleach or pet toys to Ferrario Auto Team in Towanda on March 26th. Adoptable cats and dogs will also be on hand along with BCHS volunteers.
