MIDDLE TO HOST FINAL 2024 RABIES CLINIC
Middle Township will hold the municipality’s final 2024 rabies vaccination clinic on Saturday, November 16. Free vaccines will be offered for both cats and dogs from 9:30am to10:30am at the Township’s Public Works facility, 400 W. Mechanic Street, Cape May Court House.
Rabies shots are required by NJ State law for all dogs and cats, including pets that are primarily indoors or indoors only. The first Rabies vaccine is good for one year. Each vaccine after that is good for 3 years.
“As rabies is 100% deadly, prevention is the only key to effective control,” said Middle Township’s Animal Control Officer William Candell. “The most effective prevention is had when domesticated animals are vaccinated against rabies.”
Middle Township dog owners will need a current rabies vaccination to receive a license for their pet. Dogs over 6 months old must be licensed in January of each year.
A one-year license for a spayed or neutered dog is $8.20 and dogs that are not spayed or neutered, a one-year license costs $11.20. Dog licensing can be completed at the Township Clerk’s Office or online by visiting Middle Township’s dog license portal.
