Dog
Licensing Information
Dog licenses
are required for all dogs over six months of age. Licenses
can be purchased between December 1st and February 28th at regular
license fees. Late license fees start on March 1st.
Puppies that turn 6 months of age after March 1st are considered
regular fee if purchased within 7 days of becoming 6 months.
Reasons
For Licensing:
- Excellent
identification.
- It's your
pets ticket back home.
- It allows
us to notify you when your lost pet is found.
- It ensures
that your dog is rabies vaccinated.
- Provides
proof that the dog legally belongs to you.
- It's the
LAW.
> Instructions for Dog
License Application:
If you have
had your dog re-vaccinated against rabies or have had your dog
surgically sterilized since you purchased your last dog license,
you must show proof of this.
If you apply
by mail, please enclose any required information (rabies vaccination),
a self-addressed stamped envelope, and a check or money order
payable to the agency issuing the dog license.
If your
dog is deceased or if you no longer have the dog, please notify
the Isabella County Animal Shelter.
We now offer
a multiple year dog license. To purchase a 2 or 3 year
license, the rabies vaccination must be valid through March 1st
for the year you are purchasing.
If you have
a license from another county, it can be transferred for $1.00
with proof of a valid rabies vaccination and the license for
the current year from the other county.
If you are
from out of state and are a new resident in Isabella County,
the license would be $6.00 or $10.00 with proof of a valid rabies
vaccination and the current license from the other state.
