ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Monroe County Executive Adam Bello announced Thursday this year’s schedule for the Department of Public Health’s free rabies vaccination clinics for dogs, cats and domestic ferrets.

According to New York State law, it requires that cats, dogs and domestic ferrets need to be vaccinated for rabies by the age of four months old. If owners fail to get their pets vaccinated and keep up on them, they could be fined $200, according to the executive’s office.

The first clinic will be held Friday, April 4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rochester Sports Complex. They will be hosting 17 other free clinics in surrounding areas, with the last one scheduled in Mendon on Saturday, Oct. 18.

According to the executive’s office, all dogs must be on leashes and cats and domestic ferrets must be in carriers. The vaccinations will be good for three years for pets with proof of prior immunization and good for one year for pets without proof of previous vaccination.
