Animal Shelter

Stafford County Animal Shelter hosts at least one rabies clinic each year, typically in the spring. Rabies clinic dates and times will be announced on our website and Facebook page. They are also advertised at the Treasurer’s Office and the animal shelter. Registration for the rabies clinic can be completed online or in person at the Treasurer’s Office.

​

Everyone is welcome to participate. We offer both 1-year and 3-year rabies vaccines for dogs and cats. Dogs must be on a leash, and cats must be in carriers. Animals must be at least 4 months of age. There is no limit to the number of animals you may bring. Rabies vaccines are $10.00 each.

​

It is the owner’s responsibility to provide proof of previous rabies vaccinations to qualify for a 3-year vaccine. If proof is not provided, the vaccine will be issued for 1 year.

​

The rabies clinic is drive-thru only. All owners and pets must remain in their vehicles until directed otherwise. Deputies, volunteers, and staff will be available to assist with questions and provide direction.

​

For everyone’s safety, Stafford County Animal Shelter is not responsible for pets that become loose during the clinic. Please ensure all animals are properly secured.
