Today volunteers participated in trailer training in preparation for our Regional CART Exercise in a few weeks. For that exercise, we will be partnering with the American Red Cross to practice creating a shelter for displaced people and pets. During the training, we practiced assembling pet crates, as well as familiarizing ourselves with all of our supplies and registration paperwork to be prepared and ready.

Our health department is partnering with Hudson Valley Animal Rescue and Sanctuary to host a free rabies clinic for Dutchess County residents' dogs, cats, and ferrets on Saturday, November 22nd from 10am-1pm, at Amenia Hall. Pre-registration and proof of residency is required. Registration will be available at hvars.org beginning November 5th. A fee of $15 per animal vaccinated will be applied to any out-of-county residents.

Last evening MRC/DCART co-hosted a Pet First Aid Class with the John Jay High School FFA Chapter. Participants walked away with a wealth of information on how to treat their dogs and cats in an emergency and had the opportunity practice pet CPR on our mannequin. Thank you to MRC/DCART volunteer Dr. McNamara for teaching over 1,000 community members since we started offering this program!

Its the final day of the Dutchess County Fair! Be sure to stop by and see our volunteers to learn Pet CPR! While you’re there learn how to Save a Life with Narcan Training & see how many “ticks” you can get off Tick Check Harry with our Department of Health staff!
