Rabies clinic in Wappinger Sunday

You can get your dog or cat vaccinated for rabies in the Town of Wappinger — that's in Dutchess County, New York — April 15.

The Sunday event will take place 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Schlathaus Park, which is at the intersection of Myers Corners and All Angels Hill roads.

Dogs and cats can receive the shot for $10 per vaccination. Proof of most recent rabies certification is required. Without it, only a one-year immunization will be given.

Town residents can license their dogs at the clinic also. The cost of a license for a spayed or neutered dog is $4.50; $2.50 for senior citizens.

Microchipping will also be available at the clinic. A limited number of microchips will be available for $25. The fee includes the cost of the chip and registration.

Safety first, so cats must be in a carrier, and dogs must be leashed.

If you have questions, call the town clerk at 845-297-5771.
