 The Lawrence County Health Department reminds you that keeping your pets current with their rabies vaccines is essential and even required by local and state law. All dogs, cats, and ferrets three months and older need to be vaccinated annually against rabies. Making sure your animals are up to date on their rabies vaccination each year by visiting one of our local veterinarian centers. It's the best way to keep you, your family, and your pets safe.
