For Immediate Release July 1, 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, July 13th, 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 held be at Virginia Avenue Park,
located at 2022 Virginia 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.

Division at (661) 326-3436. Information can also be obtained by visiting the
