Responsible Pet Care
LIFE OR DEATH?
A TAG MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!
Can you guarantee
your dog will never become lost? Of course not! Someone could leave
the gate open, the leash or rope break, or a number of things could
take place. Your dog cannot tell people his address but an
identification tag can!
A License I.D. tag
is a must! It's not only the law but it's the basic protection your
pet needs. People are more apt to rescue a lost dog who has a license,
knowing that the dog has an owner who cares. Tags offer that extra
margin of safety if your pet is impounded in violation of "at large"
laws, regardless of the reason the pet got loose. Animal Service
Officer's can trace tagged animals to their owners or find the pets
veterinarian in case it's been hit by a car. Tagged animals are held
longer than stray animals without a tag. Tags can make a difference
for your pet!
ISN'T YOUR DOG WORTH THE
PRICE OF A LICENSE TAG?
IF YOUR PET IS HERE
AT THE SHELTER IT WAS IMPOUNDED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
Your dog was
violating a City "Leash Law" which states that no dog shall be
at-large without a leash and not in the direct control of it's owner;
or is "at large" as defined in the city animal codes.
Your dog was not
wearing a city license as required by law.
No responsible adult
was present at an animal's supposed "home" to accept responsibility
for the animal and sign a citation for an ordinance violation.
Your animal was
capture in a "humane" box trap or restrained on property other that
the owner's and removed by request.
Your animal was
threatening the safety of humans and other animals and was removed.
Your animal was
placed in quarantine "rabies suspect".
IN OTHER WORDS:
TO PROTECT THE
ANIMAL FROM CARS, POISONS, DISEASE, AND IRATE CITIZNES.
TO PROTECT THE
COMMUNITY FROM THE ANIMAL'S DIGGING, BITING, SCRATCHING, BARKING,
BREEDING, AND DEFECATING.
TO LOCATE YOU!
