THE City Veterinarian Office (CVO) has vaccinated 48,000 dogs in the city covering all 61 barangays.

City Veterinarian Agueda Trinidad dela Torre said they have already wrapped up the vaccination program but they still have enough vaccine left to cater to 10,000 more dogs.

She said the walk-in clients who are requesting for vaccination can still be accommodated at the CVO downtown area at P50 per dog.

Dela Torre said she is grateful of the public’s cooperation but noted that there are still several residents and pet owners who are unmindful of the city’s anti-rabies program.

The city veterinarian said their next activity will be the impounding of stray dogs and their adoption.

She said that 50 dogs are in the city's impounding facility and are up for adoption by the Community Animal Rescue Effort (Carf), the CVO’s adoption partner.

Carf is in charge of looking for qualified people who can take care of the dog's needs including taking the dog to a veterinarian. (PR)
