them here.
The
Department of Health with be giving free rabies vaccinations
for dogs and cats over four months of age. Microchipping will
be available. The vaccination for dogs will be "free" with
the purchase of a D.C. dog license (required in D.C.) which
is $10.00 for sterilized dogs (bring proof) and $35.00 for
unsterilized dogs.
For

Street N.W. (just below Columbia road). Dogs must be on a leash,
cats must be on a harness or in a carrier. For more information
