In some cities and counties it is illegal to leave any animal in an unattended vehicle without adequate ventilation or in a manner that subjects the animal to extreme temperatures which may adversely affect its health or welfare. A dog license protects you and your pet and should always be on your dog. Dog licenses are used for rabies control and to help recover your dog in the event it is lost. All persons owning, possessing or harboring a dog over the age of four months must obtain a license. Your dog must have a current rabies vaccination certificate upon application.
Licenses are renewable each year.
As with dogs, the license is for the protection of you and your pet. Cat owners should also be aware that some cities require that cats, which are allowed outdoors, to be spayed or neutered. Allow a female dog to run at large when the dog is in heat transport any dog in a motor vehicle on public highways or roadways unless the animal is safely enclosed within the vehicle, or protected by a cap, cage or other device that will prevent the dog from falling, being thrown or jumping from the vehicle. Anyone striking a dog or other animal with a car or truck must stop and report the incident to the owner or police. Under certain circumstances any dog entering any enclosed or unenclosed property where livestock or poultry is confined may be seized or killed by the owner or tenant of the property.
