ARL Brewster to Host Rabies, Microchip Clinic Saturday

BREWSTER – The Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Brewster location will host a low-cost rabies and microchip clinic Saturday, September 14.

The clinic runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the ARL’s Brewster Animal Care and Adoption Center on Route 6A.

The cost is $10 for a rabies vaccine and $20 for a microchip.

Pets will receive a tag verifying the vaccination and microchips will be registered on-site.

All dogs and cats living in Massachusetts are required by law to have an up-to-date rabies vaccination.

Microchipping is not required by law, but if a pet becomes lost, a microchip drastically increases the likelihood of a reunion.

An AVMA study shows that 52 percent of dogs with microchips are reunited with owners versus just 21 percent of dogs without a microchip. Reunion rates for cats with microchips is 38 percent compared to just 1.8 percent without a chip.
