| Areas of Responsibility: The Board of Health nominates an animal inspector each year under M.G.L. 129 § 15 and submits the name to the Bureau of Animal Health. The Bureau of Animal Health appoints a municipal animal inspector for each and every city and town in the Commonwealth. The primary duty of the Animal Inspector has recently become rabies control in the domestic animal population. Municipal Animal Inspectors are also responsible for barn inspections and may be called to assist with domestic animal disease quarantines in the event of an outbreak. |

| Charlton Rabies Clinic The Board of Health and Animal Inspector host a rabies clinic each year in the spring. Check back for the 2010 clinic date. |

| Barn Inspections are conducted October through December each year. Barn inspections are designed to:
2. be sure that all of the animals appear to be in good health and free from disease; 3. observe animal housing and ensure ample food and water are supplied. The Board of Health has approved a new registration form for residents that house farm animals which is free of charge. This registration is to assist the Animal Inspector with keeping records of all farm animals in town. It will also enable the animal inspector to contact the owner in the event of an emergency. It is a one page form that asks for little but very helpful information. There is no fee for this registration. You may obtain the Farm Animal Registration Form from the Board of Health or download the Farm Animal Registration Form. |
