Top Reasons Dogs Should Be Licensed

Image via Wikipedia

According to San Francisco Animal Care and Control, most dogs in San Francisco are unlicensed.

Animal Care and Control gives 5 reasons why dogs should get licensed:

1. If your dog gets lost, a license tag on your dog's collar is the fastest way to reunite you and your dog.
2. Licensing, lets people know that your canine companion has received required vaccinations that protect your dog from rabies.
3. Dog License and license renewal fees keep city animal shelters going.
4. Having a Dog License shows that you are a responsible dog caregiver.
5. It's the law.
