The clinic entrance will be on the south side of Chisholm Trail (South) Pavilion Area. There is plenty of parking and access to the area can be made off Washington, Purdue or Oxford Streets. There is no need for reservations.

The public is encouraged to participate in this event as special arrangements have been made to receive your animal’s annual rabies vaccination and city license for a reduced fee of $9.00 per pet. Payment for the fee can be made in cash or by personal check. “This is quite a saving’s to pet owners who would normally take their pets to a clinic and then a trip to the police station to get them registered.”

Residents are reminded that licenses are required for every dog, cat or pot bellied pig over the age of 6 months. Licenses are issued on a yearly basis and expire at the end of the calendar year (December 31). By registering the animals, it will allow for identification of the owner should the pet become lost or stolen. The fines and court costs are $149.00 for failing to register their pet.

Animal control officers and local veterinarians will be on-hand to administer the vaccines and issue the city pet license. They will also be available to answer general questions concerning the health of their animals and local ordinances concerning pet care and owner responsibilities.

Mark was born not in Enid, America but rather Okeene. At a very young age, his family transplanted to Enid and he has lived his entire life here except for a 4 year stint in the Kansas City area. Mark was brought up listening to the jets roar overhead and sight of wheat trucks hauling in the harvest to some of the world's largest grain elevators. Mark strongly believes in Enid's potential and is currently raising his family here based on that belief. He also still believes in Santa Claus so take that for what it's worth
