Pet
Issues..
In order to make our pets
a bit more comfortable we will have a number of different
links and postings about and for them here.
The Department of Health
with be giving free rabies vaccinations for dogs and cats over four
months of age. Microchipping will be available. The vaccination
for dogs will be "free" with the purchase of a D.C. dog
license (required in D.C.) which is $10.00 for sterilized dogs (bring
proof) and $35.00 for unsterilized dogs.
For Ward One it will
take place at H.D. Cooke Elementary 2525 17th Street N.W. (just
below Columbia road). Dogs must be on a leash, cats must be on a
harness or in a carrier. For more information call 576-7934.
The things that one
needs to know about having a city pet.
- Dogs do need to
have a pet license, it will cost $10.00 this cost is hirer if
your pet is not spayed or neutered.
- Make sure that
you clean up after your pet not only is the the law but if you
do not the rest of us suffer.
- Washington Humane Society has
a low-cost spay neuter clinic up on Georgia Avenue, available
to all DC pet owners.
