Annual low cost rabies vaccination clinics scheduled | Events

The Office of Animal Services will be offering two drive-thru rabies clinics in an effort to prevent the spread of Rabies Infection in Calcasieu Parish.  Louisiana State Code requires that all dogs and cats over the age of three months must be vaccinated for rabies and licensed.

Vaccination and licensing rates for spay/neutered animals is $8. Unaltered pets will cost $10.00.  Dogs will need to be on a leash and cats must be in a portable kennel. Pet owners may pay by cash or check.

Clinic dates, time, and locations are:

• March 31st       7am – 12pm    Burton Coliseum Northwest Parking Lot
• April 14th         7am – 12pm    Sulphur High School Parking Lot

Pets are required to wear a license tag in all areas of the Parish once a pet is vaccinated by a licensed Louisiana Veterinarian in Calcasieu Parish. Cat owners are also encouraged to place the tag on a humane breakaway collar.

Please note: residents or groups feeding stray animals should be mindful that they assume ownership of animals under their care. The legal definition of a pet owner is “any person, business or any other legal entity that provides care, harbors, acts as custodian, or permits an animal to remain on or about his premises.” In the event someone is bitten, this person or entity could be held responsible.
