-Press Release, Granville County
Granville County Animal Control reports the pickup of seven rabid animals so far this year. Is your pet vaccinated? State law requires that all owned dogs, cats and ferrets be vaccinated against rabies by four months of age. One shot is not enough – rabies vaccinations must be kept current. If you are unsure of when your pets were last vaccinated, talk to your veterinarian or local animal control officer about when rabies booster shots are needed.
The Granville County Animal Shelter, located at 5650 Cornwall Road in Oxford, provides one-year rabies vaccines for dogs and cats for $6 from noon until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Rabies can be deadly – protect your pets. Remember to never touch a wild animal. Call Granville County Animal Control at (919) 693-6749 to report any suspicious animals in your area.
