Sheriff reports positive rabies

By Sidney Bartee

A positive case of rabies was recently reported to the Shackelford Sheriff’s Office, with the animal discovered and captured on the edge of Albany’s city limits near the golf course. 

Sheriff Ed Miller asks everyone to have their animals’ vaccinations up to date to ensure public safety.

He also asked that animals acting strangely be reported to law enforcement.

“If you come across an animal acting erratically, you first need to avoid the animal,” Miller said. “Then you need to call 911, and officers will investigate.”
