Did you know that pet owners in Georgia are required to have their pets vaccinated against rabies? Rabies is a horrible virus that may affect any mammal and is fatal for all animals, potentially humans, too! Each year, the 4-H Office works with veterinarians to host the Rabies Clinic. The Rabies Clinic will be held across Elbert County on Saturday, April 27th. The Rabies Clinic Schedule shows the location and times our teams will be available. Add this community event to your calendar!
