You can get your dog, cat or domestic ferret vaccinated against rabies for free March 30 if you are a Dutchess County resident.
The county Department of Health, in cooperation with the Dutchess County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, will hold the clinic at Bowdoin Park Community Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The park is located at 85 Sheafe Road in the Town of Poughkeepsie.
Non-residents will be charged $10 for each pet vaccinated.
To be given the rabies shot, animals must be at least 3 months of age. Dogs must be on leashes, and cats and ferrets must be in carriers.
The state requires rabies shots for all cats, dogs and domestic ferrets by the age of 4 months. Owners can be fined up to $200 if they fail to get their pets vaccinated and keep them up to date.
If you have questions about the vaccination clinic schedule or need other rabies-related information, call 845-486-3404.

What is the schedule for keeping up to date with rabies shots?
My vets have all given the three-year shot.
