I like to call your Dog License.......

 "Doggie Life Insurance"

Licensing your dog is not only State law, It also could save your dog's life one day. Buying a license is good but not having the tag on your dogs' collar at all times is not. That is like having insurance for your car but not having your proof of insurance in your car at all times to hand over to the police if you get pulled over. By your dog having the license tag on his collar at all times will ensure that if something happens and your dog gets lost or runs away he has identification that will later help ensure a safe return to home.

If someone finds your dog and calls into Animal Control with the tag number, they will be able to look up all information registered with that tag such as your name, address, phone number and your dogs name and they can contact you and return your dog safely home.

By chance your dog gets brought to the franklin county dog shelter and is wearing a current license, the shelter will then do the same, look up owner information registered with that tag and contact you by any phone numbers that are listed, send certified letters to the address listed and send someone to your house to try and make contact.

Any dog that is brought into the shelter will only be held for 72 hours without a current license, dogs that are displaying current licenses are held for 14 days.

Once again displaying licenses is basically the same as Doggie Life Insurance ! That simple tag could one day save your dogs' life and reunite you and your 4 legged friends.

You also must remember to renew your tags every year between december 1st and january 31st to avoid any late fees
