Public Works (40185 Glendale, Beach Park, IL).
These clinics provide a

cash will be accepted on site. Proof of spay/neuter may be required.
The Health Department's Animal
Care and Control Program tracks pet vaccinations and rabies tags, investigates
animal bites and complaints of nuisance and neglect, as well as impounds stray
animals. In 2016, nine low-cost pet vaccination clinics were held that served 2,585
animals. Animal wardens are available to provide free informational programs to
small community groups about animal behavior and wildlife interaction. The
Animal Care and Control facility is located at 18736 West Peterson Road,
Libertyville.
For additional information about
the clinics, please contact the Animal Care and Control facility at: (847)
