Town of North Hempstead Announces First Free Rabies Clinic in 2015

North Hempstead, NY –North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board are proud to announce that the Town’s Animal Shelter will be hosting 2015’s first semi-annual free rabies vaccination clinic in conjunction with the Nassau County Department of Health. The clinic will be held at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter, 75 Marino Avenue, Port Washington, on Saturday, May 9 from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m.

“This valuable service allows all pets to be up to date on their vaccinations and to be properly licensed with the Town,” said Supervisor Bosworth. “Rabies vaccines keep our pets healthy and happy, help to keep our community safe and most importantly it is the law.”

Rabies vaccines are available to both dogs and cats, as well as ferrets from around the area, not only from North Hempstead. North Hempstead officials will also offer on-the-spot dog licensing applications and renewals to North Hempstead residents.

Owners must bring their dogs on leashes and their cats in carriers. Officials request that people interested in attending the program RSVP before May 9.

For more information or to RSVP, please call 311 or 516-869-6311.
