According to the Arkansas Department of Health, a skunk taken from high school property in Greenwood tested positive for rabies. While Greenwood is in the western part of Arkansas it is a reminder that residents must be diligent in getting their pets vaccinated. If a human contracts rabies there is no cure. NAFA highly encourage all pet owners to ensure their pet’s vaccinations are up to date, especially rabies. Both dogs and cats should have rabies tags and owners should keep certificates easily accessible.
NAFA is sponsoring Dr. Jack Jones for another low cost vaccination clinic this Saturday, March 12th from 7:30 to 11:30 am at our Animal Services Building – 233 N. Gee (red and white building on the corner of Gee Street and Dan Avenue across from Riceland Foods). For costs, vaccinations available and qualifications individuals can visit NAFA’s website http://nafarescue.org/nafa_news or email wanndat@fastdata.net.
Protect your pets,
Tut & Ella
