Raising Awareness to Stop the Spread of Rabies

Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease. Animals contract Rabies through bites and scratches of infected wildlife. There is no cure for Rabies - only preventative vaccination.
The best defense to protect your pets and family is to keep your pets up-to-date on Rabies vaccines. If pets tussle with wildlife or come in to contact with bats, vaccines should be boostered immediately.
