The Atlantic County Animal Shelter will hold its monthly free rabies vaccination clinic for dogs and cats on Sunday, June 28, 9-11 AM, at 240 Old Turnpike Road in Pleasantville. Owners must bring dogs on leashes and cats in carriers. Vaccination records are also helpful if available. The Atlantic County Animal Shelter provides a free rabies clinic each month to help protect pets and prevent the spread of rabies, a viral disease that affects the central nervous systems of infected warm-blooded animals. There is no cure for rabies, and it can be fatal if left untreated. Atlantic County officials encourage residents to vaccinate their pets not only to protect them from the potentially deadly virus but to also provide a barrier to human exposure.
