CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OH — The Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter reminds all Ohio dog owners that it’s time to buy your dog license. The State of Ohio requires all dogs aged three months and older to have and wear a current dog license. The Shelter is offering an early renewal discount for dog licenses purchased through December 15 online at cuyahogadogs.com.

Fees from dog licenses go solely to support the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter and the lost and stray dogs it houses until reunited with their owners or adopted to new homes.

Lost dogs can quickly be returned to their legal owner when wearing a dog license and allow for longer stray hold times (up to 14 days instead of 72 hours) should they enter a shelter.

Dog licenses can be purchased as:

• A one-year tag for $20
• A three-year tag for $60
• A lifetime tag for $200

Cuyahoga County residents can buy their dog licenses at local Discount Drug Mart or Pet Supply Plus Stores, at the shelter, or online at cuyahogadogs.com.

Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter is open to the public Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. and Sunday from 12:00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m. Available pets can be viewed at cuyahogadogs.com.
