Rhode Island SPCA “Almost Free” Rabies Clinic October 5, 2019

Riverside, RI, September 17, 2019– The Rhode Island SPCA will be hosting its 17th annual “Almost-Free” Rabies Clinic on Saturday, October 5, 2019 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This public clinic is an opportunity for underserved community pets to be vaccinated against this fatal disease without the worry of cost, while at the same time helping others in need.

The “cost” of each vaccine will be 5 cans or boxes of unexpired, non-perishable food, which the Rhode Island SPCA will collect and donate to a local food bank. Over the 16 years that the Rhode Island SPCA has been hosting this clinic, we have collected approximately 4,000 pounds of food for the community!

Rhode Island state law requires all dogs, cats, and ferrets to be vaccinated against rabies. Each animal vaccinated at the clinic receives a rabies certificate. All attendees are required to bring any previous rabies vaccination certificates, even if out of date. As well as a valid driver’s license or state identification.
