All dogs that do not have a lifetime license must be licensed by January 1st of each year.Keep your dog safe and protect your wallet. A dog license costs far less than the $500.00 fine plus court costs you could face as the dog owner for not having one. Licensing brings lost pets home faster. A license is easier to spot.
