In an ever-evolving effort to continue essential operations, and to assist with limiting potential exposure to coronavirus, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control has limited hours for residents to bring pets for rabies and other vaccinations.

As of Friday, March 27, pet owners are no longer allowed into the lobby for pet vaccination services. Instead, they will be directed to the drive-up outdoor clinic. Pet owners will be required to stay in their own vehicle, while shelter staff handle and vaccinate their pet(s). Dogs must be on a secure leash and cats must be in a carrier.

Vaccine Clinic Hours of Operation:

                        Monday - Saturday               10 a.m. to noon
                        Sunday                                    Closed

Appointments are not being taken. Pet clinic services are provided only for drive-ups, first-come, first-served, during the two-hour window, 10 a.m. to noon.

Rabies license tags and proof of vaccinations will be mailed to the pet owner within three to five business days. Vaccines can be purchased by credit card or check only; no cash will be accepted. In addition, all late fees associated with rabies vaccines and tag renewals have been temporarily suspended until further notice.

The shelter is located at 7100 Belvedere Road, West Palm Beach, just west of the turnpike.
