Rabies Clinics

All animal bites and any animals suspected of having rabies should be reported to the Amherst County Department or the Department of Animal Care and Control.
 
Animal Care and Control will respond to and investigate all animal bites and will ensure that any animals involved in these incidents are to be confined.
 

The Health Department is also responsible for confining domestic animals that bite people or expose them to rabies and for testing potentially rabid animals.

 
The Department of Animal Care and Control urges all cat and dog owners to have their pets properly vaccinated by state law. In addition, rabies clinics are held periodically throughout the year to allow citizens to have their pets vaccinated. Please get in touch with the Animal Care Center for these dates.
Report animal bites and suspected rabid animals to Animal Care & Control and the Health Department.
