North Hempstead Announces Free Rabies Clinic
Clinic will be on October 1, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

North Hempstead, NY – North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board are proud to announce that the Town’s Animal Shelter will be hosting a FREE rabies vaccination clinic in conjunction with the Nassau County Department of Health. The clinic will be held at the North Hempstead “Yes We Can” Community Center in Westbury on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

“We encourage our community to take advantage of this free clinic that provides rabies vaccinations for cats, dogs and ferrets,” said Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “It is important to make sure that your pets are healthy and the Town is proud to be able to offer this service.”

Rabies vaccines will be available to cats and dogs, as well as ferrets. You do not have to be a resident of Nassau County for your pet to receive a free rabies vaccine. To participate in the Rabies Clinic your dogs must be licensed. North Hempstead officials will also offer on-the-spot dog licensing applications and renewals to North Hempstead residents.

Owners must bring their dogs on leashes and their cats and ferrets in carriers. Registration is required. Please call 311 or 516-869-6311 to make a reservation, or if you have any questions.

The North Hempstead “Yes We Can” Community Center is located at 141 Garden Street in Westbury.
