Dog License Oregon Requirements and Benefits

To get a dog license in Oregon, you'll need to provide proof of current rabies vaccination. You can obtain this license from your local county clerk's office or animal control agency.

The license fee varies by county, but it's typically around $20-$30 per year. You'll also need to provide identification for your dog, such as a microchip or tattoo.

The benefits of getting a dog license in Oregon include ensuring your dog's identification and helping them get back home if they ever get lost.

Licensing your dog is not just a law, it's a responsible pet owner's best friend. In Oregon, all dogs in Polk County that meet the age and/or residency requirements must be licensed, so make sure you're in compliance with ORS 609.100.

A license tag on your dog shows you've taken the necessary steps to protect the health and welfare of your pet and the community, and it's a requirement to obtain a rabies vaccination for any dog of licensing age.

The license tag can be a lifesaver if your dog ever gets lost. It shows that the dog belongs to someone and was not abandoned, which can help get your dog back to you quickly. In fact, if the owner can be immediately located when a stray dog is found, it may eliminate the necessity of taking your dog to a public impound facility.

If you have an assistance animal, you won't be able to purchase a license online - you'll need to call or email them instead.

If you're wondering when to license your dog, the answer is relatively straightforward. You'll need to license your dog when it has its adult canine teeth or is six months of age, whichever comes first.
