SEPTEMBER 21-27, 2016 UCW 49 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM CUMBERLAND The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners believes that all citizens should have the opportunity to participate in their local government. One way of participating is by serving on a citizen advisory board. The citizens who volunteer for these positions are the advisers who make recommendations that ultimately shape the future of their community. Cumberland County citizen advisory board descriptions, meeting schedules and application are available at co.cumberland. nc.us or by calling 678-7772. Thank you for your interest in serving your Cumberland County community! Citizen Advisory Boards Rabies Clinic at Health Department Oct. 8 The Cumberland County Department of Public Health will hold a fall rabies vaccination clinic for dogs and cats on Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of the Public Health Center located at 1235 Ramsey Street. The cost is $10 per animal. North Carolina law requires that "the owner of every dog and cat over four months of age shall have the animal vaccinated against rabies." To remain properly immunized, a dog or cat must receive two rabies vaccinations one year apart, then one vaccination every three years thereafter. Please keep your dog on a leash. Keep your cats in separate carriers or boxes or leave them in your car. Owners may be held responsible for their pets and for any damage they cause. Only cash is accepted for payment. Please bring exact change. Checks will not be accepted. Call 910-433-3660 for information.
