START PLANNING NOW!

Well, it is a little early, but I thought I would just get a jump on it this year. What am I referring to? The annual Rabies Clinic we hold every year at Memorial Hall.

This coming new year it will be in February, on the 16th...that's a Saturday...from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. As usual, we will be selling the City Tags for your dogs and cats(proof of rabies vaccination required). And as luck would have it, our local Vet staff will also be on hand to give Fido & Fluffy all the shots they need as well.

I do want to emphasize one point. If you wish to get City tags for your pet - and I would hope you would - this would be the very best time to do it. This will be the time when tags for your un-spayed or neutered pet will be the least expensive. After this point, there will be a late fee assessed each month throughout the rest of the year, and that could make it quite a bit more expensive later in the year if your pet should be picked up for some reason.

Tags for animals that have been fixed will be approximately $4.00, with tags for animals that have not been fixed at approximately $24.00. Later in the year, these same tags could run double that...so plan ahead now, and get them while they are at the best price. Also, as an added incentive, every effort will be made to return pets that are properly tagged home, before they are taken to the pound. You may still incur a ticket for your pet running at large depending on the circumstances, but the savings might make the difference between being able to afford to bring your pet home from the pound or not.

So be sure to mark this date on your calendar. You & your pet will be glad you did!
