You should probably get a license, the law says:
If the dog is not wearing a tag, the dog shall be destroyed, unless legally claimed by the owner within two (2) days. If you have a license, they will try and contact you, and this gives you 5 days.
Under RABIES TAG DISPLAY and Davidson County Ordinance it says:
Quote:
It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, or harbor any dog or animal which does not wear a tag evidencing the required rabies vaccination.
Davidson County Ordinance 8.04.070 Dog license tags issued pursuant to this chapter shall be supplied by the department of health, to be made available in its budget, out of the revenues of the metropolitan government.
It shall be the duty of the owner to attach such license tag to a collar which shall be worn at all times by each dog licensed.
