Rabies Vaccination & Licensing

The County of Louisa sponsors a Rabies Vaccination Clinic twice a year. One is held during the spring and the other in the fall. Citizens are required to obtain vaccination and licenses for their animals, and enforcement of County ordinances pertaining to such will be exercised.

Citizens must produce a current rabies certificate in the original form. Rabies Certificate must state whether the dog has been spayed or neutered.

As a convenience to citizens, the Treasurer's office is there giving you the option of purchasing your dog tags at the time of vaccination.

Why should you get your dog licensed and be sure they wear the tag?

• Protect your dog, yourself, and your family from rabies
• Help your dog get home if lost
• Help protect your community from strays that may bite or destroy property
• And... It's the law!
