Dog Licences

Why Licence Your Dog

• If your dog goes missing, having him/her licensed drastically improves your chances of getting him/her back safely.
• A licence is immediately visible to anyone who finds your pet and shows that your pet belongs to someone
• Your dog is returned to its home faster and spends less time in the shelter.
• If your dog is lost or involved in an emergency situation, the licence provides information needed to contact you.
