Rabies Raccoon Epidemic -
Have your pet vaccinated! Orange County has had 11 positive
rabies cases in 2005 (as of July 2005), and authorities say that
unvaccinated pets could be required to be quarantined for six months or be
euthanized if bitten by a rabid animal. Make sure that your pets'
vaccinations are up-to-date! Click her for Rabies
Clinics info.
Before you adopt a dog or puppy:
Remember that dogs need plenty of exercise, play time, companionship, and obedience
training.
Choose a breed of dog that will fit your home and
space. Larger breeds need a lot of space, while smaller dogs may be better
if space is limited.
For safety, dogs need a fenced yard; identification tag or tatoo
identification, and a leash. Pets should wear a personal ID tag with their owners' name,
address and phone number so that lost pets may be returned to their homes.
Dogs and cats need
annual vaccinations, heartworm medicine, and regular checkups; flea and tick
treatment. NC law requires all dogs and cats over 4 months of age to be vaccinated against
rabies.
Many North Carolina counties, including Orange County, require dogs to be
licensed. Check with your county about licensing requirements.
