Stark County Dog License

11/18/2024

Pet licensing can feel like just an "added" expense, but this tiny investment is so much more powerful than you think — for you, your pet, and for the animals in your community. Here’s why:

🐾 It’s the law, and the license fee is cheaper than the fine you may be subject to if you don’t license.
🐾 It helps your pet and others make it home safely.
🐾 When more pets are licensed, they can be quickly identified if lost which means they take up little to no space in shelters.
🐾 Local animals in need get the care (and hope for a furever home) they deserve when shelter space is opened up due to more identifiable and licensed pets.

Every day, pets and their owners get separated. With proper licensing, getting families reunited with their pets is astronomically easier and more likely. This is why every Stark County dog license comes equipped with DocuPet's HomeSafe® 24/7 lost pet service. Each license tag comes with a pet's unique code etched on the back, which is used to report your pet as found to the 24/7 dispatch team. Not only that, but your pet's tag links to their very own secure online profile, which shows their care instructions, medical information, vet and secondary contacts, and more.
