In order to get a license for your dog, you will need a current rabies certificate for each dog you want to license. You may license the dog for up to 3 years, depending on how long the rabies vaccination is good for. Discounts apply to senior citizens and also for dogs that are spayed or neutered. Proof must be shown with a certificate from the veterinarian who performed the procedure. Cats do not need a license.
