Nashville TN Metro/Davidson County Rabies Ordinance 3 Year

Basenji Talk
  • Contrary to what pet owners have been told, the Metro Nashville/Davidson County ordinance does allow pets to be vaccinated with a 3 year vaccine. In a December 16, 2009 e-mail to the Metro Nashville/Davidson County Director of Health, Dr. Brent Hager (Director of Environmental Health), made the following statement on rabies vaccine requirements for Metro Nashville/Davidson County:

    From: Hager, Brent (Health)
    Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 4:08 PM
    To: Paul, Bill (Health)
    Subject: METRO/DAVIDSON (NASHVILLE) RABIES

    MCL 8.04.040 states "All licenses issued shall be valid for twelve months and shall expire on the last day of the month issued of the following year". The vaccine used, however, can be a one year or three year at the discretion of the vet or owner.

    If you have any questions about this, please contact Dr. Hager at:

    Dr. Brent Hager, Director of Environmental Health
    Metro Public Health Department of Nashville/Davidson County
    311 23rd Avenue North
    Nashville, TN 37203
    615-340-5653 (office)

    Ready to commit myself!!! Hahaha.. Alleycat- so incredibly adorable, I love the look on his face in the first one…might be a hint of mischief in there?! Lol The little black and white bundles get me everytime! I fell in love with breed and wanted a red and white...but after receiving Oakley...it's hard not to have the black and whites melt me. Take lots of pics, it goes by quicker than I remember thinking it would. Love his wide white stripe and his little white mitten foot in the back...he looks overall to be a "cool, laid back type"?! Perhaps it's because I was so used to the panic look as Oakley was panicked by many things back then!
