Rabies Alert – Vaccinate Your Pets: Portland metro area and beyond: If you don’t think this has anything to do with the law, think again:

“A joint coalition of Portland metropolitan area animal services and welfare agencies, public health officials, and veterinary professionals are alerting cat, dog, and ferret owners to protect themselves and their pets by getting rabies vaccinations for their companion animals. This advisory is a result of a recent increase in animal rabies cases, specifically in bats and foxes, in Oregon.”
