When communities have a strong animal control and shelter service in place, it is of considerable benefit.  Recently, I had my two kittens spayed/neutered.  Our local animal control actually has a new modern facility that does it at reasonable fees.  It was to cost $45.00 for the female, and $30.00 for the male.  However, when I picked them up, they gave a 20% discount because I was a senior citizen.  And, all of their shots were included free.  $60.00 for all that was quite the savings.

Roy, not free in Lee County Florida. First you pay the Vet for the shot. He gives you a certificate and then you pay the County for the license. Enjoy your day!

I hope you had a good walk this morning, it is cool and dry here as well this morning. It sure feels like fall. A lot better than the humidity. It is nice of you to promote the free rabies clinic. Pet owners should sure take advantage of it. Have a good Saturday.

Good Morning Roy,

People with pets who need to have rabbies shots should take advantage of this program.

If you love your pet, do the right thing. I can tell you, there's nothing worse for a homeowner than to hear a knock on the door and some stranger ask, is your pet up to date on their rabbie shots? This happened to me and my pet's rabbie shots expired by just a few weeks. I was too late. My pet was taken away from me and I cried for a long time. He did not have rabbies, but there was only one way to find out for sure and I learned to live with regret. Losing a pet this way breaks your heart.

The pets need so much help during this tough economic issue.  I hope they make the dog flu shot available as well.  It is important to support these programs whenever you can.   Thanks Roy for posting this.

RIt is great the city is offering the clinic. So many pets are often not treated due to the high cost of getting the shots.

Does the city require a license for cats too, Roy?  I can't imagine my cat wearing a license around his neck ... licensing isn't required for cats here in Irvine.

I think that if the city is sponsoring something like this, it a good thing. Especially for the animals..
