BUFFALO, NY - Erie County is offering pet owners a chance to get their furry friends vaccinated for free this month.

The final clinic of three this month is September 26 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Erie County Emergency Services Training and Operation Center, located at 3359 Broadway in Cheektowaga.

"This is an extremely valuable service offered to our community," said Erie County Commissioner of Health, Dr. Gale Burnstein in a released statement. "During these three clinics, hundreds of dogs, cats, and ferrets receive vaccinations that will protect them from the fatal threat of rabies."

The department asks that owners bring a record of their pet's most recent rabies vaccination if available. Pets should be non-aggressive with other animals, and secured on a short leash or in a pet carrier.

Questions on the clinics can be directed to the department at 716-961-6800.
