Here are the details:

Animal Health Fair
Saturday, May 21
9:00 am - 12 noon
Upshur Dog Park
4300 Arkansas Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20011

To get a dog park license at the fair, you can write a check or bring a money order payable to "DC Treasurer" -- the cost is $15 for a spayed or neutered dog and $50 for an unspayed or unneutered dog. (Sorry, but no cash or credit card payments accepted.)

If your pet has been vaccinated before, please bring the vaccination records.

Cats and dogs must be at least three months old to receive a rabies vaccination.

All pets must be brought by a responsible adult. Dogs must be secured on a leash and cats must be secured in a carrier box.

District law requires that all cats and dogs over four months old be vaccinated against rabies and that all dogs be licensed and wear the license tag.


Here's to the health of your pet!
