Dog owners and their dogs are encouraged to come to Santa Barbara County Animal Services’ special Project PetSafe Outreach Clinic from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, July 10 at Manning Park, Area 9, 449 San Ysidro Road in Montecito.
The following will be available at the Project PetSafe Clinic:
» Free six-month dog licenses for dogs that have never been licensed
» Dog license renewals; all late fees will be waived
» Affordable vaccinations including rabies, DHPP and bordatella
» Microchipping $20
» Information about affordable spay and neuter services
All dogs must be on leash. No appointments needed.
A current rabies certificate and written proof that the dog is spayed or neutered (if applicable) are required to obtain a dog license.
Many dog owners do not realize that state and local laws require all dogs older than 4 months to be licensed and wearing the tag.
“A license is your pet’s ticket home. When our Animal Services officers rescue a pet wearing a license, we are able to take it directly home to its family,” Animal Services Director Jan Glick said. “Wearing a license tells everyone that your pet has an owner who wants to keep their pet safe.”
