Dogs and horses (any equine) are required to be licensed in the County.
License tags identify guardians of lost animals. Each license tag has a unique number assigned to your animal only.

People who find an animal with a tag can call our telephone number printed on the tag for quick guardian identification and reunion with the lost animal.

If a licensed animal is lost or taken to a shelter, Department of Animal Services can identify the guardian by the tag number and contact the registered animal guardian. Animals with licensing information are held in the shelters while the guardians are contacted.
