Low-Cost Rabies Vaccination & Microchip Clinics

The McHenry County Animal Control & Adoption Center hosts low-cost rabies vaccine and microchip clinics throughout the year to help pet owners stay in compliance with county ordinances. These clinics, which require appointments to be scheduled in advance, offer a simple, safe, and permanent form of identification through microchipping. With over 10 million pets becoming lost each year and only 1 in 10 lost pets being found, having a pet microchipped is a proven way to quickly identify and reunite lost pets with their owners.
