Carlisle Barracks supports a close rapport between the active Army and its retired members. RSO sponsors Retiree Activity Days, a Retiree Council, retiree volunteer services program, and the retirement services newsletter. Retirement Services are administered by the U.S. Army Garrison. Vaccination against rabies is mandatory by Pennsylvania state law. Other vaccines, including distemper combinations, kennel cough, and feline leukemia are highly recommended.
Prescription drugs require that an animal be seen at a military veterinary clinic within the year.
Stray animals apprehended on post are confined at the Veterinary Treatment Facility. Unclaimed strays may be offered for adoption. Notify the Veterinary Facility and the Military Police immediately if you have lost a pet. Veterinary Services also provides food inspection support to the Carlisle Barracks community.
