Wappinger offers reduced price rabies shot Saturday

WAPPINGERS FALLS — A rabies clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Wappinger town hall, 20 Middlebush Road.

The rain-or-shine event will give residents the opportunity to vaccinate their dogs and cats at a reduced cost.

Please make sure your animal is either on a leash or in a carrier.

The rabies shot is $10 per vaccination. Owners must provide a current rabies certificate. Otherwise, only a one-year immunization will be administered.

Town residents can also license their dogs at the clinic.

Microchipping will be available for $25.

Town Clerk Chris Masterson said owners will be able to get their dogs vaccinated for about one-quarter the local average cost and one-half the cost of the microchip.

Call 845-297-5571 to preregister or for information.
