Low-Cost Rabies Shots for Dogs, Cats and Ferrets

The Fairfax County Animal Shelter will host a low-cost rabies vaccination clinic for pets from 2 to 4 p.m. today at the Sully District Governmental Center located at 4900 Stonecroft Blvd. in Chantilly.
 
The cost of the rabies vaccine is $12 per pet and vaccines will be provided for dogs, cats and ferrets. To receive a three-year vaccination, pet owners should bring proof of their pet’s current rabies vaccination. All other pets will receive a rabies vaccine valid for one year. No rabies tags will be issued at the clinic; however, 2011 dog licenses will be sold at the clinic for an additional $10 per dog.
 
All dogs must be on leash and cats and ferrets must be in carriers. Cash and checks only will be accepted at the clinic.
 
The reduced-cost rabies clinic is being hosted as a partnership between the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, the office of Sully Supervisor Michael Frey, and Deepwood Veterinary Clinic.
