Why purchase a tag for my dog or cat?

Purchasing a tag for your pet will ensure that your pet is returned to you safely if it is lost and found. The revenue from dog and cat tags helps to pay for the Animal Control Program and the care and feeding of stray dogs and cats.

Every owner of a dog or cat must purchase a tag on or before January 1^st each year that they are the owner of the dog or cat.

Every person who becomes the owner of a dog or cat after January 1^st, shall purchase a tag within 7 days of becoming the owner and on or before January 1^st of each year after that.

You do not have to purchase a tag for your dog or cat until the dog or cat reaches 6 months old.

A new lifetime license is available for you to purchase for your dog or cat. Anyone wanting to purchase this type of license is required to have their pet microchipped or tattooed from a Veterinarian or other qualified person and their shots to date when application is made. Applicants are required to provide proof of services rendered by the Veterinarian or qualified individual.
