López reminds Citizens to License their Dog
Licensing starts December 1; New Options this Year
Dog Tag renewal forms are being prepped to be sent out and when Lucas County dog
owners receive them, they will have some new decisions to make. New for 2014,
dog owners may now purchase either a 3 year tag or a permanent tag, in addition
to the standard 1 year tag. The goal is to simply give dog owners more options
when it comes to buying a license. Some owners may not want the hassle of buying
a tag every year and now they have a choice.
