MOBILE COUNTY, Ala. ( WKRG ) — The Mobile County Health Department has scheduled its low-cost rabies weekend clinics for the month of September.

During these clinics, dogs, cats, and ferrets are given a rabies shot that is good for one year.

The clinics are planned for weekends in September and are as follows:

Date	Time	Location
Sept. 7	10 a.m. to noon	City of Mobile Animal Shelter (855 Owens Street)
Sept. 14	10 a.m. to noon	Mobile County Animal Shelter (7665 Howells Ferry Road)
