Carbondale Animal Hospital is proud to take part in the global fight against rabies. In recognition of World Rabies Day, we will be raising funds to benefit Mission Rabies, an international nonprofit dedicated to saving lives through vaccinations and education.
How We Are Helping
Carbondale Animal Hospital will donate $1 to Mission Rabies for every rabies vaccine administered in our practice. By vaccinating your pet, you’ll not only be protecting their health—you’ll also be helping communities around the world combat this devastating disease. 
Why Rabies Vaccination Matters
- Rabies is 100% preventable, yet it continues to take lives.
- The disease kills an estimated 59,000 people every year, 40% of those being children.
- Pets here in the U.S. are safer and healthier thanks to widespread rabies vaccination—but the vaccine remains a cornerstone of protection for families everywhere.
A Global Effort Toward Elimination
Mission Rabies is part of a movement to eliminate rabies by 2030. Their work focuses on:
- Mass vaccination campaigns for dogs in high-risk countries.
- Community education to raise awareness about prevention.
- Saving lives by ensuring both animals and humans are protected.
