The HSJC will be hosting our semiannual Dr. Galen Heyne Rabies Clinic on Saturday, October 25th from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM in the West Building at the Jefferson County Fair Park. Rabies vaccinations will cost $15.00 each, which can be paid by check, cash, or credit card.

All rabies vaccinations will be good for one year unless a rabies certificate is provided as proof of a current rabies vaccination, in which case a three-year vaccine may be given. Rabies tags cannot be accepted as proof of a current rabies vaccination.

All cats must be contained in carriers and all dogs must be on leash.

Pre-registration will be available closer to the event date.

Pre-registration is optional but helps speed up your visit, as your rabies certificate will be pre-filled with your and your pet’s information. You can also pre-pay online for an even faster check-in process.

Dr. Galen Heyne was a remarkable veterinarian and an even more extraordinary human being. Dr. Galen was not only a skilled professional but also a shining example of compassion, generosity, and kindness. His selfless dedication to the welfare of shelter animals, his unwavering support for our community, and his boundless warmth touched the lives of so many.

In tribute to his immeasurable contributions, our annual rabies clinics are named in his honor. This perpetual tribute serves as a reminder of his enduring impact and the profound difference he made in the lives of both animals and people.
