POMONA, NY – Free rabies shots are available for cats, dogs, and ferrets belonging to Rockland residents on Sunday, May 2, from 10 am – 1 pm at 50 Sanatorium Road in Pomona (in the parking lot in front of Building F).

No appointment is needed. The shots are free; however, a $5 donation per animal will help defray the cost to the Rockland County Department of Health.

“No one wants their beloved pets to get sick with anything, especially if it’s preventable with vaccinations. Please take advantage of this opportunity to get your dog, cat or ferret vaccinated against rabies to protect them and the other members of your family from this disease,” said County Executive Ed Day.

To get their free rabies shot:
Your dog, cat, or ferret must be healthy.
Your pet must be older than three months.
Your dogs must be on a leash.
Your cats and ferrets must be on a leash or in a top-opening container.
