Dog Licensing
City and County ordinances require that all dogs over the age of 6 months living within the city limits or within the county's dog control zone must wear a current license tag. Even dogs that live primarily indoors are required to be licensed.
Your pet’s ID Licensing helps ensure the safe and timely return of your pet should it be lost. About 95 percent of lost animals that wear current identification are reunited with their owners.
Please also keep in mind that ownership of a pet can be difficult to prove if the pet is not wearing current tags.

Your Pet's ID
Licensing is designed to help ensure the safe and timely return of pets to their owners. Your dog’s current license enables local authorities to identify your pet and also identifies you as the dog owner. About 95 percent of lost animals that wear current identification are reunited with their owners. Ownership of a pet can be difficult to prove if the pet is not wearing current tags.
