Austin Animal Center Offers Free Rabies Vaccinations

Austin Animal Center is the largest municipal animal shelter in Central Texas and provides shelter to more than 17,000 animals annually and services to Austin/Travis County.

Protect your pets and your family with a free rabies vaccination.

A free pet vaccination clinic will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017 at Richard Moya Park 10001 Burleson Rd. Austin, TX 78719.

As required by State law, an owner or handler of a dog or cat must get the pet inoculated with the rabies vaccine. The City of Austin Animal Services Office conducts two free clinics throughout the year.

Vaccinations are for dogs and cats 12 weeks of age and older. Puppies and kittens younger than 12 weeks will be provided free identification tags and registered in the Animal Services database, so they can be reunited with their owners if lost.

Dogs must be on a leash, and cats must be in carriers or secured in boxes with air holes. Puppies should be brought in carriers or crates. For more information, the public can call 3-1-1.
