Most veterinarians in the Albany area have boarding
facilities/kennels. Temporary lodging facilities on base do not allow
pets, but many hotel/motels in the area do. Check listings under
BILLETING to see which ones do. Check with the Marine & Family
Services Relocation Manager at 229-639-5277. Arrangements for your
pet should be made before you move. All animals must be registered with the
Provost Marshal's Office when brought aboard the Base. It is the
responsibility of pet owners to maintain positive control over their pets at all
times. No pet will be permitted to run loose or be unattended in any
area aboard this Base or housing areas. Pit bulldogs are not allowed on base. If
your dog is an outside pet, you must install a fence at your own expense.
Violations of these regulations may warrant the removal of the pet from the
Base. Occupants are responsible for any damage caused by their
pets.
INOCULATION. All dogs must receive a distemper shot at
six to seven weeks of age and a rabies shot at three months of
age. All cats must receive a distemper shot at two months of age and
a rabies shot at three months of age.
REGISTRATION. Once your
pet has been inoculated, you must attach the Dougherty County rabies tag and
MCLB registration tag to the pet's collar. These tags are given out
at the inoculation and will be registered with Pass and ID Section at
PMO.
