If you live in...

***Pet owners must license by the time the pet is  five months of age or within 30 days of moving into an area or acquiring the pet.***

Need licensing information about animal control in other areas?

Why should I license my pet?

• A pet license has benefits for you, the pet owner.
• A license is the best way we have to reunite you with your dog if he/she becomes lost.
• A pet wearing a license tag can quickly and easily be identified and returned to you.
• If your pet is found by one of our officers seriously injured and you could not be immediately contacted, the license would guarantee that he/she would be taken to a veterinarian for emergency care. This can mean the difference between life and death for a badly injured animal, which unfortunately we receive almost daily at the shelter.
