Rabies Clinic

Each April, a licensed veterinarian comes to Snowflake to give low-cost rabies shots to resident’s pets.

Required dog licenses maybe purchased during the clinic.  The fees for dog licenses are $5 for spayed or neutered dogs or $7 for non-sterilized, and must be renewed on an annual basis. The Town code requires that all dogs be licensed.

Adoption Corner

The Snowflake-Taylor Animal Control Program makes every effort to find homes for stray animals. After a length of time, stray animals must be destroyed. Please help us avoid putting down animals by using our Adoption Program. For more information about Animal Control codes and enforcement, click here.

To adopt an animal, prospective owners must complete an Adoption Application Form and agree to the terms of the Adoption Agreement. The Adoption Agreement states that the animal will be kept as a pet, and that the owner will be responsible for sterilizing the animal. These forms are available by stopping by the Police Department, or you can click here to download copies of the forms that you can complete and then return to the Department.
