For Immediate Release June 5, 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, June 8, 2013, from 8:00 a.m.-11 a.m., the City of Bakersfield Animal
Control Division will be offering low cost rabies vaccinations and licensing for
city residents. 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 held at
Wilson Park, 2400 Wilson Road.
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
