Dixie_Girl Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 My dogs get a rabies tag from the vet. It has a # and the vets phone and name on it. No county licensing required. It is also how I got Jackson back when he took an overnight excursion. While I am certain the same outcome would have happened had I had a name and phone of mine on him, it is no extra cost to me. They need rabie shots, the vet gives me the tag. This is handy. I don't have to keep records with me when I take the dogs away from home. When I lived in town, Cheyenne got registered once. They said is the dog s/n? And before I could answer, she marked yes. Saved me $30 bucks and I never said a word. I never registered her after that. Figured with that attitude, they ain't gonna come spying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fosher Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Alas, the likeness is startling. Put a pot belly and glasses on him, and you've just about got it nailed. Also, I have fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Scott Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 How many people actually register their pets (cats/dogs) annually with the city and county? Ours are registered and licensed by the county! It's the law here! Barb S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Crowder-BaaramuLuke Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Ditto Bill, top to bottom (also no pun intended). Our county is a rural neighbor of a capital city area, and while the county is starting to feel more urban in a lot of ways, one good thing is I can still get a "kennel license" without going before a Board of Supervisors or Zoning Board to have more than 4-5 domestic animals (cats/dogs). I pay a measley $35 per year to legally house <25 dogs. If that's all they ask of me, I'm content with compliance of the law. I have never been investigated, complained on, or even spot-checked. Add to that, I'm a 4H leader (y'all probably already knew that), and the "Character Counts" liason for our county, and they all believe in proper citizenship, so I try to live what I intend to preach. We have a great animal control department in our county and that's one heck of a thankless job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Like Bill, I'm as law abiding as possible. Even if I'm a bleeding heart liberal. Or maybe because. When I get the girls their rabies shots, the vet is required to tell the county, who then, eventually, send me a bill for licensing them. I sure want them vaccinated and licensed because all it takes is one neighbor to complain that he saw a dog or cat with you and wants to know if it's legal. Or to claim that you pet attached her or her pet - even if it's a lie. I guess, if I knew there would be a sheriff on my doorstep I could hide the girls in the crawl space or the attic. But the baking might be hard to explain. And, if either somehow were lost, I'd like to know that I could call Animal Control and get my girl back without a legal hassle.

Aussie_Dog Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Another bonus to licensing, is that when the average Joe knows they have to pay a fee every year, they may be put off on getting a dog (a good thing, what with all the cruddy owners out there these days). Those who are serious about dog ownership would willingly pay a fee every year. Granted, there are always the loser owners who get a dog and don't pay a single cent for the rest of the dog's life, whether it be licensing or healthcare.
