All dogs are required to be licensed. Licensing helps to find lost dogs plus helps to protect the public from diseases like rabies since all licensed dogs must be vaccinated. Here’s the licensing process.

1. Have your dog vaccinated for rabies. Your Vet will let you know when your puppy is ready for this vaccination.
2. Contact your local animal control agency for licensing information.
3. Make sure you take proof of vaccination to the appropriate animal control agency at the time of vaccination.
4. Be prepared to pay a fee. Fees are considerable less for spayed and neutered dogs and also for senior citizens.
5. Affix the license to your dogs collar and keep the license paper with your other important documents.
6. Renew the license as required. The animal control agency should notify you when it’s time for renewal.

Have fun with your new puppy. Alway give him plenty of dog treats along with lots of love.
