WH, Troup hosting rabies clinics

The Smith County Extension office, area veterinarians and community volunteer groups will be conducting the annual Smith County dog and cat rabies vaccination clinics at 21 locations from April 28 through May 6. Through the cooperation of local veterinarians and volunteers, individuals can get their pets vaccinated for $7 per animal.

Locally, the vaccination clinics will be held at Whitehouse High School on Wednesday, April 30 and Troup High School on Tuesday, May 6. Both clinics will be at 7 p.m. At Whitehouse, the vaccination clinic will be at the covered pavilion across from the high school. At Troup, the shots will be given at the Ag shop building.

The clinics are conducted during the time of year when the spread of rabies through skunk activity is the most common.
