Notice posted 9/1/2021: Due to today's inclement weather, our District 5 budget event has been postponed. A new date will be announced soon.
The Anne Arundel County budget process started with seven town halls where we heard county residents give input about what they wanted to see in the budget. We think a fitting way to end the budget season is to come back to our residents and explain how this budget invests in our communities.
Please join us for our District 5 budget visit on Wednesday, September 1 at 5:00 p.m. at the Arnold Senior Center (44 Church Road Arnold, MD 21012)
Residents will have the opportunity to speak with the County Executive and community members about the FY22 budget and our investments in your communities.

Rabies clinics at Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control resumed beginning Thursday May 14, 2020. Effective Thursday June 11, 2020 Animal Care & Control will be resuming microchip implantations. The procedures have been modified to comply with social distancing, restrictions on gatherings and to ensure the health well being of citizens and Animal Care & Control team members/contractors as best we can. We have been adjusting the clinic each week to find the most effective and efficient ways of providing the services and we will continue to review in an attempt to improve the process. We continue to ask for your patience as we work out the kinks of this new process.
Animal Care & Control will be pre-scheduling the services by appointment. Go to https://www.aacounty.org/departments/animal-control/rabies-clinic-scheduling/index.html to request an appointment. We apologize but the number of citizens/animals serviced will be limited however we believe the number of appointments available is commensurate with the current need.
A few things to note:
Clinic attendees MUST BE Anne Arundel County County Residents and are limited to bringing two (2) pets per appointment.
Attendees WILL NOT be allowed inside Animal Care & Control as the building is CLOSED to the public
Attendees MUST remain in their vehicle unless/until instructed otherwise by our team member
Attendees MUST be wearing a mask over their mouth & nose (even when 6 feet or greater from our team members)

All cats MUST BE IN A CARRIER (attendees will be given instructions on how to transfer the animal to our team member while ensuring social distancing)
Attendees MUST remain at least 6 feet from our team members and MAY NOT linger outside their vehicle.
Animal Care & Control WILL NOT be offering these services (for the time being) for animals that require a muzzle or “do best” when handled by their owner for safety reasons. Please contact your regular full service veterinarian for assistance.
Attendees will be providing ALL necessary information regarding themselves, their animal and identifying information about their vehicle when the appointment is made.
Payment will be made OVER THE PHONE and proof of ID must be provided when we call to provide your appointment time. An AACACC team member will call you to obtain payment and provide your appointment time between 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
If you are not here on the correct date and at the time of your appointment you will be rescheduled for another date/time

Microchip Implantation is $20.00
Low cost rabies vaccinations and microchip implantations are available on specific Thursdays(except holidays) for a period of 3 hours at Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control. Times are dependent on the season and we do have some clinics with special hours. The veterinarian leaves promptly at the end time for the clinic. Depending on the length of the line, Animal Care & Control may conclude the line at an appropriate time to ensure all individuals remaining in line receive the services.
Please note clinics are weather permitting and may be canceled for high temperatures, low temperatures, precipitation, air quality or any other factors that may increase risks to citizens or animals at the outdoor clinic.
