Low-Cost Clinics

2026 LOW-COST CLINICS (DATES, TIMES, LOCATIONS):

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE CLINICS:

  • Clinics will typically offer 1-year and 3-year vaccinations for $10 (see any exceptions above). Pet owners will need to have a previous rabies certificate in hand to receive the 3-year vaccine. A tag alone is not sufficient. 
  • Microchips will also be offered at these clinics for $35 each. Pet owners can choose to have a pet receive only a microchip, only a rabies vaccine, or both. 
  • Please make sure dogs are on leashes and cats are in carriers. Please only have one pet in a carrier.
  • You do not need to be an Orange County resident to attend these events.
  • Cash and credit card payments are accepted.
  • PLEASE CHECK THIS PAGE CLOSER TO EVENT DAYS. WE WILL UPDATE THIS INFORMATION IF THERE IS A NEED FOR CANCELLATION OR CHANGE TO SERVICES/VACCINES OFFERED.
  • Please reach out to your veterinarian if you have any concerns about vaccinating your pet. 

Orange County’s Animal Services Department schedules low-cost rabies clinics annually. Clinics are sometimes crowded, so please be prepared to wait in line. Please approach without your pet and speak to a staff member or volunteer if you have a pet that may react negatively to other people or pets.

The incidence of rabies among a host species increases and decreases over a period of time. For more information on rabies facts and figures for Orange County and other areas in NC, visit NC Department of Health & Human Services.

Rabies is a fatal virus and Orange County residents are urged to remain vigilant. Pet owners must be sure that dogs, cats, and ferrets are currently vaccinated against rabies and also that they immediately receive a booster shot if there is any possible exposure to rabies. It is a requirement in North Carolina that all cats, dogs and ferrets over 4 months of age be vaccinated against rabies.
