Every September 28, we shine a light on the fight against rabies. A disease that takes lives but can be completely prevented.

This year’s theme, “Act Now: You, Me, Community,” is a call to action for all of us. Together, our small steps; vaccinating pets, sharing knowledge, supporting local health programs - add up to real, lasting change.

🐾 You have a role.
