Henry County Animal Control

WELCOME TO THE ANIMAL CONTROL DEPARTMENT
 

• The Henry County Animal Control Department registers all dogs that have been vaccinated against rabies pursuant to the Henry County Code 91.22, which states:
   

“Every owner of a dog four months or more of age shall have each dog inoculated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. Every dog shall have a second rabies vaccination within one year of the first…”
