For Immediate Release September 13, 2013
The City of Bakersfield Animal Control Division would like to invite the
community to a low cost rabies vaccination/licensing and microchip clinic for their
pets.
On Saturday, September 14th, 2013, from 8:00 a.m. to 11 a.m., the City of
Bakersfield Animal Control Division will be offering low cost rabies vaccinations
and licensing for city residents. City residents will also have the opportunity to
have their pet implanted with a FREE microchip, if their pet is currently licensed.
The clinic will be at Heritage Park, located at 2320 Mt. Vernon Avenue.
The microchip program is an effort focused on reducing the number of animals
entering the shelter system. Typically micro chipped pets are not taken to the
shelter, instead they are returned home.
For more information, please contact the City of Bakersfield Animal Control
Division at 661-326-3436. Information can also be obtained by visiting the
