“"This campaign is an important contribution to animal protection and public safety. By offering these services free of charge, the Municipality aims to facilitate compliance with legal obligations by owners and encourage responsible pet ownership practices. It is also important to remember that any resident can attend any of the scheduled sessions, regardless of the parish where they reside."

The Angra do Heroísmo City Council is promoting a free rabies vaccination and electronic identification campaign for dogs and cats from October 15th to 27th, touring the municipality's parishes to enhance animal protection and public health.
The initiative aims to facilitate access for animal owners to these essential services, which are fundamental for animal welfare and for an effective response in cases of loss or abandonment. The campaign will take place at various locations, and residents are not obliged to attend on the date or at the location corresponding to their parish of residence, being able to choose the service point that best suits their availability.
Electronic identification is crucial for facilitating the location and return of lost animals, while rabies vaccination is a vital preventive measure for animal and human health. Through this action, the municipality reinforces its commitment to responsible pet ownership and the safety of people and animals.
