For Immediate Release January 6, 2014
The City of Bakersfield Animal Control Division would like to invite the community to a
low cost rabies vaccination and licensing clinic for their pets.
On Saturday, January 11, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. until noon, the City of Bakersfield
Animal Control Division will be offering low cost rabies vaccinations and licensing with
free microchips to all currently licensed dogs at The Park at Riverwalk, 11200 Stockdale
Hwy.
The free microchip program is a yearlong effort that is focused on reducing the number
of impounded animals entering the shelter system. This form of electronic identification
for animals is fast becoming the preferred method for reunification between lost pet and
owner.
For more information, please contact the City of Bakersfield Animal Control Division
Supervisor, Tammy Davis, at (661)326-3434. Information can also be obtained by
