Rabies
It is a requirement in North Carolina that all cats, dogs and ferrets over 4 months of age be vaccinated against rabies. It is also a requirement that these animals wear a valid rabies tag at all times.
Failure to comply with these requirements could result in a fine or fee.
Vaccinations are available from any licensed veterinarian. Additionally, Orange County offers several low-cost rabies clinics throughout the year. The dates, times and locations for these clinics will be announced throughout the year and the vaccination cost is $5.
Should your pet come in contact with an animal that might be considered a rabies carrier, contact Animal Control immediately at (919) 942-PETS (7387) . In the event of contact is after regular business hours, call 911
