Pontiac, Mich. ? The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) notified Oakland County Animal Control that a dog found wandering in Detroit and brought to a veterinary hospital in Farmington Hills has tested positive for rabies. This is the first canine rabies case in Oakland County that current animal control employees can remember.

?This rabies case is a reminder of how vital it is for dog owners to have their pets vaccinated to prevent the spread of disease,? said Bob Gatt, manager of Oakland County Animal Control. ?It not only protects other pets but children and adults, as well.?

Rabies vaccines for dogs are free on Tuesday mornings at the Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center with the purchase of a dog license. For more information, go to?www.oakgov.com/petadoption?and click on the dog license tab.
