Protecting Our Furry Friends: Morristown Offers Free Rabies Vaccination Clinic

Hey Morristown pet parents! Got a furry family member who's due for their rabies shot, or maybe you just want to make sure they're fully protected? Well, you're in luck! The Town of Morristown is once again stepping up to help our community's beloved dogs and cats stay safe and healthy by hosting a fantastic free rabies vaccination clinic right here in town.

Circle September 19th on your calendar, because that's the day! You'll want to head over to the Lobby of Town Hall at 200 South Street – yes, the familiar spot – anytime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. It’s a super convenient two-hour window, so there's plenty of time to bring your companions down. This wonderful service is completely free, which, let's be honest, is always a welcome relief for the wallet.

Now, who can come? Any dog or cat in your household that's older than four months is welcome to receive their crucial rabies vaccine. Just a quick heads-up on how to bring them: please make sure your dogs are on a leash – safety first, always! And for our feline friends, a secure carrier is a must. Oh, and one more thing, an adult definitely needs to accompany each animal. It’s important to have a responsible person there to handle things.

You'll have a couple of options regarding the vaccine's duration. They'll be offering both the standard one-year vaccine and, for those who qualify, a three-year vaccine. This is where a little preparation comes in handy: if you're hoping for that longer-lasting three-year shot, you absolutely must bring a copy of your pet's previous vaccination record. Seriously, don't forget it! Without that documentation in hand, they'll only be able to administer the one-year vaccine. So, dig out those old records now, if you can.

Good news for everyone with a busy schedule – no need to pre-register or sign up ahead of time! It's a walk-in clinic, plain and simple. Just show up within the designated hours. And here's a bonus for our Morristown residents: you can also take care of your pet licensing right there on the spot. Just remember, for licensing payments, they'll only be accepting checks or money orders made payable to the Town of Morristown. No cash or credit for that part, so plan accordingly.

Got a burning question or just need a little more clarification before you go? Don't hesitate to reach out! You can easily contact Morristown Animal Control at 973-292-6731. They'll be more than happy to help you out.

So, let's all do our part to keep Morristown's pet population healthy and protected. This free clinic is a fantastic resource, offering peace of mind and essential preventative care for our beloved companions. We hope to see you and your furry friends there!
