Dog License Amnesty Program Starts on Friday 4/1/11

This is not an April Fools Joke!
The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is launching a Dog License Amnesty Program from April 1-30, waiving all late and penalty fees for dog owners who have not licensed their dog or who've failed to renew their dog's license. The amnesty program gives residents an opportunity to comply with the law, protect their pet with a license and avoid a potential fine.

The center has been servicing the City of Aliso Viejo since January 2009.

Dog owners are strongly encouraged to license during April to avoid future late penalties and citations. State and municipal codes require that any dog over the age of four months must have a current rabies vaccination and a dog license.

Pet owners who register or renew an annual license during the amnesty period will only have to pay the regular $20 fee for an altered dog license or $50 for an unaltered dog license. Discounts are available for senior citizens 55 years and older. For a license renewal that will be due again within the next 6 months, two years payment will be required.

To purchase or renew a license, a current rabies vaccination certificate is required. If you are applying for the reduced-rate altered dog license, a copy of your pet's sterility certificate is also required. For the public's convenience, the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center will host a rabies vaccination clinic from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13 at 28095 Hillcrest. Rabies vaccinations are $6.

Licenses can be purchased or renewed by mail or in person at Mission Viejo Animal Services Center. Residents can also pay by phone by calling 949-470-3045 Tuesday through Saturday.

For more information, call 949-470-3045.

Let's all license are pets..and keep tags on them for their safety!
