In conjunction with dog license renewal month, Lawrence Township Health Department is set to host a free rabies vaccination clinic.
The clinic is scheduled for 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Jan. 25 at the National Guard Armory, 151 Eggerts Crossing Road, Lawrence Township.
The clinic is for dogs and cats over three months old.
During the clinic, pets must be on a leash or in a carrier and must be accompanied by an adult. Children under age seven are not permitted to attend the clinic.
All visitors are required to stop at the guard shack and provide identification.
Any dog over seven-months-old is required by law to be licensed. According to New Jersey Law, in order to obtain a dog’s license, its rabies immunization must be valid for the entire licensing period.
Should a dog’s rabies certificate expire anytime between January and Oct. 31, 2014, its owner is required to revaccinate his or her pet prior to obtaining its 2014 license.
Dog licenses are renewed in the Municipal Clerk’s office. Proof of current rabies certification and proof of spaying or neutering must be presented when a license is purchased by mail or in person.
The fee is $11 if spayed or neutered or $14 if not spayed or neutered.
Dog licenses are due by January 31, 2014.
