Category: Health (Best in Category)

Year: 2022

Partners In Prevention was a program initiated to maximize the animal shelter resources available in Cook County for low cost or free companion animal preventative vaccinations and microchips for pets to be reunited with owners. The mission of Animal & Rabies Control is the prevention of rabies and to assist in reuniting owners with lost animals. One of the methods is vaccinations for pets and microchips. In partnering with local shelters and organizations, not only are rabies vaccinations offered but other preventative vaccinations are administered. One of the goals of the program is to reach residents that may not easily have access to veterinarians or may not have the funding to afford these vaccinations and microchips. By working with numerous partners our department's ability to reach more residents an pets is maximized.
