Talladega Receives ASPCA Grant for Reduced Cost Rabies Vaccinations

The City of Talladega announced today that the Animal Control Department was awarded a $5,000 Grant from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ("ASPCA"). As part of the grant agreement the City will provide an additional $660 to fund a one day Reduced Cost Rabies Vaccination Clinic in February. The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 25, 2012 from 10am until Noon at Tractor Supply in Talladega. The City Council approved for the Animal Control Department to apply for the grant in November. The funds awarded by the ASPCA will provide rabies vaccinations for up to 200 dogs or cats at a reduced cost of only $5 per pet.

Several rabies cases have been reported in the Talladega county area in the last three months. City officials are aware that due to tough economic times many pet owners have not have been able to afford the annual rabies vaccination for their pet so the City urges pet owners to take advantage of this opportunity.

Dr. David Hillmon from the Lincoln Vet Clinic will administer the vaccinations. Dogs will receive a "DA2PP" vaccination that protects against several common infectious canine diseases including upper respiratory disease, diarrhea, hepatitis, distemper and rabies. Cats will receive a "FVRCP" vaccine for common feline diseases including types of respiratory and viral diseases and a rabies vaccination.

No advance reservations for the clinic are required. All shots will be administered on a first come first served basis. For more information on the event contact Animal Control Facility Superintendent Jessica Jones 256-362-5831or like us on Facebook at Talladega Animal Shelter.
