Should I Get My Pets Vaccinated
Per the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services – Infectious and Zoonotic Diseases Program:
“Dogs and cats under 12 months of age, as well as those with no previous history of rabies vaccination, will require re-vaccination one year later. For dogs and cats that are 12 months of age and over and have a history of previous rabies vaccination, a three (3) year duration of immunity will be recognized. Records should be maintained to ensure that animals are re-vaccinated when indicated.”
Where do I get my dog license?
You may purchase a one-year license from the Borough Clerk during business hours.
What is the SHARE program?
SHARE — an acronym for Self-Help and Resource Exchange – is a program where people get a break on their grocery bills by exchanging volunteer time for the opportunity to buy affordable food. For each package of food purchased, we simply ask for two (2) hours of “good deed” time, whether at SHARE, other institutions in your community, or your own neighborhood.
