Failing to license your dog can hinder your chances of getting him/her back if picked up by Animal Control and can get you in trouble with the law. Licensing also lets people know that your dog is up to date on his/her rabies vaccinations.
A dog cannot be licensed unless it is properly vaccinated. Animal control or a Good Samaritan will be much more likely to want to handle and care for your missing pup if they know that s/he is healthy and does not have rabies.
In order to apply for a dog license, you must provide a certificate showing that your dog is up to date on his/her rabies vaccinations. Dogs four months old and older must be licensed. If you license your dog in one city and then move to another, you may need to apply for a new license.
