BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: The Baldwin County Animal Shelter hosts public Rabies Clinics throughout the year. Dr. Babette Dixon is the current veterinarian being used for the Rabies Clinics. Dr. Babette Dixon will perform these services outside the scope of the Colony Veterinarian Clinic professional service agreement, where she currently practices. This agreement is needed because the animal shelter will occasionally pay invoices from Dr. Babette Dixon for rabies vaccinations, which were done if a citizen pays for a rabies vaccination via credit card or an existing shelter animal requires a rabies vaccination.
