Guess the 4th amendment doesn't apply there? Will they ask to enter a house to inspect a dog? Go in a fenced back yard?

35.00 in my county in illinois. When you get the 3 year shot and pay for all 3 years they give you a little break.think it's 10.00 if there spayed.my beef why don't cats have to vaccinated they carry more diseases then dogs.

Five dollars for a dog or cat tag here,used to be higher, and heard of some towns the quit having to do it.

in tact Females are more likely to get out and get pregnant and lead excess dogs

females in heat can make the entire neighbor hood of male dogs go nuts

in tact males are more likely to be involved in aggressive attacks as well as territorial and dominance behaviors. so says the insurance industry

if your taking bets on what dog bites harder , shakes harder and causes more damage , unaltered males take the win

you are also a lot more likely to have back yard breeding operations with in tact dogs

basically they expect to have more issues with in tact dogs and they seek to offset that with additional tax , a tax they figure will be offset if you are actually in need of them being in-tact for responsible breeding

when you figure a loaded hour of police officer time is around 120 dollars in a small town , probably more like 150+ in a larger city
so if 1 in 10 dogs takes an hour of time over the year they have it paid for theoretically.

check to see if there is an exemption because your dog us under a year of age most have them for under a year.

Never heard of a such a thing, thankfully. Yes, you should get your pets their shots, but Big Brother doesn't need to be part of the process. Absolutely ridiculous.

Every county in Ohio has at least one dog warden, who is under the Sheriff's department of that county and the county commissioners. Many more populated counties and some that aren't, have deputy dog wardens as well. They have to get a search warrant to enter homes, if they can't get owner's permission, but can enter properties, if they can see or hear dogs that don't appear to be licensed, mostly going off of license records.

Theres dog wardens here in Maine.Some towns don't have one.

North Dems just needed more funds to steal

In PA, I believe if you microchip your dog, you don’t have to buy a dog license

You still have to buy one but you can buy a lifetime license. Don’t have to renew it.
Permanent identification in the form of a microchip or a tattoo (which nobody does anymore) is required

I didn't know that. It doesn't say anything about needing a microchip for a lifetime dog license on the county website.

I looked it up though and you are correct Smasho.

Microchips are great technology and inexpensive. No different than getting a vaccine. They are making the needle gague even smaller now. Still, a good time to do it is when your pet is under anesthesia for a spay or neuter . Cause they won’t feel the pinch!
A lot of people think that a microchip is a tracking device but that isn’t true. More people feel that it enforces pet ownership but that isn’t necessarily true. In PA, pets are considered fodder still in a court of law. You can’t fight for them in a divorce or such

Like alot of bs from government.......you get monetary punished into submission

Here they send the license renewal with the property taxes. It's $3.00 for a spayed or neutered dog or cat. So I spend $6.00 for a license for each. I also have to take proof of rabies shot in when I get their license. To me it's not a big deal.

I suspect every county in the US has an animal control department. In order to control the county needs to know how many animals are legally owned. That helps identify the strays.
Every service a government entity provides will be payed for, one way or another, by the residents. The alternative, no animal control, could be worse.
The Fairbanks borough (we don't have counties) where I live has a well funded animal control dept. No license, mandatory rabies vaccine, and AC will chip your pet at a low charge. The AC rabies vaccine is much cheaper than the vets and is 3 years.

I'm sure you've all seen the cartoons with a dog catcher .
In Ohio we have to have dog licenses , but not for cats!
Funny years ago in the 1950's we had packs of wild dogs killing sheep and other live stock.
Farmers got together much like the old fox hunts , and hunted them down.
IMHO A license is a way to control the dog population , you can have as many as you want, but with a license they can track a dog killing livestock.
Cats are a huge problem, people DON'T GET THEM FIXED, and let them run outside without caring if they wind up having a batch of kittens.
Next thing you know there's feral cats everywhere.
The bleeding hearts stopped euthanasia in our county.
So the county can't euthanize any pet animals. GODDARDS LAW!
So if you have stray cat problems, you can only take them to one of 3 three no kill shelters in the county.
Problem is, there's no room for any more cats!
It's a felony to kill companion animals here.
So what do you do with all the feral cats?
The bleeding hearts came up with TNR, means trap neuter and release back where it was caught.
Problem with that is , people that have those unfixed pets, don't want the extra kittens, and see one of the TNR colonies , and dump them there.
Ignorant ill responsible people cause more problems for everyone.
There's even times boxes of puppies are just dumped along a road.
IMHO That's the reason for licenses.
I caught 23 feral cats 15 years ago in a week.
Used to be the Amish , or farmers wanted a few for their barns.
NOT ANYMORE , no one wants them.
It's all part of the insane animal rights zealots agenda.
IMHO a license should be required for cats also.
TOO much government , funny it's the government that caused ill responsible people by taking away the right to discipline their children.
Pure lack of respect about everything.
I'm sick and tired of everything smelling like cat (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) , and finding their crap in my gardens!
I guess it all depends on where you live.
I know HOA's fine people for feeding cats outside around here now!
I love that idea!
Cats should be under the same laws as dogs!
All because people won't take responsibility for their pets .

One more thing that the bleeding hearts are asking for.
Money from dog licenses to help care for their cats!

Pennsylvania requires dog licenses to help keep dogs safe and to help owners recover lost dogs. Dog license fees fund the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, which protects dogs and the public.

Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement. Good Lord.

cats don't need a license , for a reason

no license = zero protection under the law

of your dog is chasing a deer in WI only the warden can shoot it

your cat takes a step off your property it is just another invasive species

dogs in the act of harassing or harming live stock may be shot , but they have to be actively at it

we do not have dog wardens in WI However Every county Sherriff has a Humane officer , a deputy that takes additional training in animal welfare and animal laws. So that they can make initial assessments and file warrants before bringing in the vet for further assessment.
counties may be able to share a humane officer we share other training officers and such on part time basis.

if there is too much cat feces and the stink is real , then that property can be abated under other ordinance properties not zoned for agriculture and thus livestock may not have noxious odors from feces extending beyond the property boundary. it is a pain , had to do that with a property here recently.
