SUMMERDALE -- Pet owners in Baldwin County are invited to bring their dogs and cats to the Baldwin County Animal Control Center located at 15050 County Road 49 in Summerdale on March 3 10 a.m. to noon for a rabies clinic.

Rabies is a viral disease that is thought to infect all mammals, including humans. There is no treatment for rabies and it is always fatal.

Rabies continues to survive in wildlife species such as bats, raccoons, foxes, and skunks. It is important to vaccinate your domestic animals because they are a common link between humans and wildlife.

Modern vaccines are considered to be very effective in preventing rabies transmission should your animal be exposed.

The 1 year rabies vaccine will be administered by Dr. Babette Dixon of Bay Animal Clinic for $10.00 per vaccination.

For more information, call the Animal Control Center at (251) 972-6834.
