None of the things I see say how old the puppies were - it's possible they were too young to vaccinate, but that seems somewhat unlikely since rabies vaccine can be done at 12 weeks. Either way, I once again implore you all to vaccinated your pets and keep them up to date on vaccines. All the vaccines for all the pets. And yourself too, while we're at it.

Colorado health officials are trying to find anyone who attended an adoption event where one of the puppies later tested positive for rabies.

We no long have to do the special certified rabies by accredited veterinary form thing though.
