Health Department sponsors vaccination in Mahopac

The Putnam County Department of Health invites pet owners to bring their dogs, cats and ferrets to a free rabies vaccination clinic on Saturday, March 23, from 2:30 to 5 p.m. The clinic is being held at South Putnam Animal Hospital, 230B Baldwin Place Road in Mahopac, and is open to all Putnam County residents.

Pet owners should bring photo ID as proof of Putnam County residency, as well as written proof of prior rabies vaccination. Tags are not acceptable. Without a written certificate documenting prior rabies vaccination, a pet will receive a one-year rabies vaccine. All dogs must be leashed, and cats and ferrets must be in carriers. An animal information/release form will be available and can be completed at the clinic site. For more information and directions, call the Putnam County Department of Health at 845-808-1390, ext. 43127.

The Health Department’s mission is to improve and protect the health of Putnam County residents through prevention of illness and injury.
