Please have your pets vaccinated for Rabies

 It only costs between $12.00 and $14.00 depending on the vet you use 

It can save the life of your pet.

 In the first half of 2009 there were 103 confirmed cases of Rabies in this area.

None of the 2009 rabid dog and cats had ever been vaccinated against rabies, even though all were old enough to be vaccinated. The rabid dogs and two of the rabid cats were owned animals. 

Of the rabid dogs, one was a female with puppies, and the other was a five-month-old puppy from a group of nearly identical littermates. In both situations, the dogs were allowed to roam and interact with neighboring families and/or visitors to the homes as well as other dogs in the area. The ensuing case investigations required euthanizing and testing the remaining dogs from each litter and evaluating numerous potential human and canine exposures. Fortunately, the remaining dogs were proven negative for rabies. Several persons received the complete postexposure rabies vaccination series following their exposure to the rabid dogs' saliva.
