Dogs and cats with a current license tag attached to their collars are held at Animal Services Centers for a full ten days instead of the four days unlicensed strays are held. The owners are notified by telephone and letter. Keep the county informed of any address or telephone number changes after you have applied for your pet's license. There is no better protection for your pet than a fenced yard or enclosed kennel area. Do not let your pet run loose.
Many local organizations offer low-cost training classes.
A well trained pet can be a joy for you as well as your neighbors. If you are interested in classes, one of the volunteers will be happy to give you the telephone numbers of organizations in your area. Spaying and neutering eliminates or reduces the attraction of male animals to the female.
