On Saturday, April 5th, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. until noon; the City of Bakersfield Animal
Control Division will be offering a low-cost rabies vaccination & licensing clinic as well
as FREE microchips (to all currently licensed dogs.) The clinic will be held at Martin
Luther King Jr. Park, at 901 E. California Avenue.
The rabies vaccinations will be offered at a reduced cost; however the licensing fees are
