By an IM (intramuscular) injection. You would be able to save a considerable amount of money by doing this yourself----if you are somewhat capable. Basically you would pinch together between the thumb and forefinger at the back of the animals neck and make the injection just below the point where your fingers pinch the animals skin together.

Many shelters will give these shots for free, or based on a sliding scale fee. You could also check with your local animals shelter for additional information.
