The vaccination clinic will be from 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday, April 21 at the Sam B. Coffey Animal Shelter on FM 2169.
Rabies vaccinations by Dr. Larry Brooks will cost $8. Parvo/distemper vaccinations will also be available for a cost of $12.
As an incentive to have your pets registered, the City will have a 1/2 price reduced fee for city registration. The registration fee will be $5 for un-spayed/un-neutered dogs and/or cats and $2 for spayed/neutered dogs and/or cats. Regular City registrations are $10 for un-spayed/un-neutered dogs and/or cats and $4 for spayed/neutered dogs and/or cats. City Ordinance requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated and registered annually. A $25 annual animal fancier fee will be charged if you own more than four (4) dogs and/or cats or a combination thereof.
You will be required to fill out a form prior to registering your pet. You will also be required to provide a copy to the City of Junction of the proof of spayed/neutered pets. If proof is not submitted, you will have to pay the $5 registration rather than the $2 registration.
Rabies is a deadly viral disease that affects the brain and nerves. Humans and pets can get rabies from the bite or scratch of a rabid animal. Humans can also be infected by getting a rabid animal’s saliva in their eyes, nose, mouth or an open wound.
The City of Junction encourages everyone to vaccinate pets and to comply with the City Ordinance.
If you have any questions, contact City Hall at 325-446-2622 or the animal shelter at 325-446-9066.
