Rabies vaccine clinics for dogs, cats and domestic ferrets are coming to Monroe County this year.

County officials say eligible pets must be at least three months old and the vaccinations will be good for three years for pets with proof of prior immunization. For those pets without proof of previous vaccination, officials they will be good for one year.

“Having a pet is one of life’s great joys, but it also means taking steps to keep them safe,” Monroe County Executive Adam Bello said in a statement. “Getting your pet vaccinated against rabies is an important part of that. These free clinics make it easy and convenient, so I encourage every pet owner to take advantage and protect their dog, cat or ferret.”

Dogs should be leashed upon arrival, while cats and domestic ferrets must be in carriers.

The full schedule can be found below. For more information, you can visit the county's website.
