The Long Range Transportation Plan is the first step to getting transportation projects into the hopper for funding.  This is the first time Iredell’s projects have been combined with Charlotte’s;  Iredell is in the process of joining the Charlotte urbanized area for transportation-planning purposes.  Come see the Long Range Transportation Plan and list of candidate projects early in the process.  A meeting will be held Thursday, June 27 from 4:00-6:00 pm at the Charles Mack Citizens Center in Mooresville.

Rabies Vaccine Clinic 2^nd Tuesday Every Month!

All dogs, cats, and ferrets are required by Iredell County Ordinance to be vaccinated against rabies starting at the age of 3 months. In Iredell County, there is a $75.00 citation per animal for owners who do not have their dog, cat or ferret immunized against rabies. Iredell County Animal Services & Control hosts a rabies vaccination clinic every month and you are invited to attend with your dog, cat or ferret.

Boost After a Bite or Fight!  A rabies vaccine booster is needed within 5 days after a possible exposure to rabies, even if a pet is fully vaccinated. Possible exposures include playing, fighting or any contact with a stray (dog or cat) or wild animal (raccoon, skink, fox, opossum, etc.). Failure to obtain the booster vaccination within 5 days can result in the exposed animal being euthanized or quarantined for six months at the owner’s expense.

For more information on rabies vaccinations or to report a stray animal, call Iredell County Animal Services and Control: (704)878-5424.

Also, 1 year vaccines are offered throughout the week: Monday-Friday 10:30am-5:00pm and Saturdays 10:00am-2:00pm. for a fee of $10.00.
