| Dog Licenses??? Anyone out there help me out about this? I live in Orange county, CA. Is a license required by law, and is there a limit on how many dogs can be in one household? I believe, no I KNOW, there is a snitch in the neighborhood. He is calling up anyone and everyone trying to get us fined for anything. (Haters!) Today a guy came to the house and banged on the door really hard (to get any dogs barking) and Uni was home today and started barking like mad. The two other dogs outside did not bark for some reason, and they always do. The guy says that we have to pay a fee for each dog, $100 for un-neutered, and $24 for neutered per year. He only wrote down one yorkshire terrier, he did not come into the house to see the other two out back. Why haven't I ever heard anything about this? Is this for real? My bf watched him as he went to every single house in the neighborhood, b/c he thought he was only coming to our house. Can we say that Uni doesn't live there? Technically we are still registered as living in riverside county. Any help would be much appreciated.

| I live in a small town in Connecticut and we are suppose to license any dog over 6 months old. We pay $10 for spayed or neutered and $30 for un- neutered. You have to show proof of spay or neutered and also show a Rabies certificate. If you have a kennel it is a set fee for the kennel no matter how many dogs you own. This is a yearly fee.

| I've had Uni for two years and the other dogs have been there for many many years as well. Why hasn't anyone ever said anything to us before? Doesn't $100 seem like a ridiculous amount?

| Holy Cow! $100.! We pay 12 for a un-neutered dog and $6 for a neutered one. I would call the town hall. Find out what registration is, he may be doing some kind of scam. That sounds like a terrible amount. Good Luck

| It does seem like a lot. We have to pay for our licenses every year but they are $25 for dogs that arent spayed/neutered and $12 for those that are. Good luck, how long did he give you guys too? I know out by my parents some people have been given time limits and they come back around to check for that too. I also know that you could be fined extra (not sure how much) but for being late on registration.

| Well I am at work, and bf called to tell me what his mother said. She always overexaggerates and gets info all mixed up, so maybe this could be a case of playing telephone? I just wonder why we have NEVER heard anything about this before. I mean of course I have "heard" of dog licenses, but no one has actually said anything to us. I haven't seen the paperwork, so i don't know if it is legit from the county or a scam.

| Ok i found this from another member on another thread, if anyone has the same ??? as me: Bchgirl (thank you): "Here you must have a kennel license if you own more than 5. Previously someone had to report you for anyone to come to your house....now the vets' offices are required to send info to the city when your dog gets their rabies shot." So I called my vet's office, and yes they send info to the city after a rabies shot. And yes it is $100 (!!!) for an un-s/n dog, and $24 for a s/n dog. We have until this thursday to pay! My question is, why was he going to every single house in the neighborhood? So now b/c of me maybe some other dogs are going to get "found out" about? They didn't know we had two more in the back! also un-neutered!

| I've heard your suppose to have a license, and when the vet gives a rabies shot, he's suppose to report it to the city. We never had any problems until someone reported us. Luckily halfe the dogs were in the backyard, or we would have been hit with a big fine. Our vet never did report when he gave a rabie shot so I know it wasn't him. Just guess it was somebody who didn't like us.

| $100 is absolutely rididculous. It is just an attempt to make s/n mandatory. It isn't nearly that much here...wow. I didn't know some vets fax rabies records. How silly.

| California and all of its counties are hurting for money and trying to exploit every avenue to nickle and dime California residents. If this is true it just goes to show you how desperate they are. Personally I would ignore the citation--just because the dog was there doesnt mean that you own it. edited to add: that certain counties in CA are required by law to report all rabies vaccinations back to the county so that they can cross-reference it with the licensing information and site those who are not in compliance. This is the reason so many vaccinate in other counties. Last edited by Bravo916; 07-14-2009 at 03:45 PM. |

| Some would show up again each year you don't renew once you've started licensing your dog with the city. On occassion, they may overlook you for one or half a year of non-renewal, but be sure they'll be back... in some municipalities. |

Needless to say, he gave me one week to get my dog licensed. Well, cuz of my work hours, i couldnt get to the shelter because they would be closed by the time i was off work and they were closed on my day off. Well, a week later animal control came knocking on my door to check. I told them my situation and he did not care and he gave me a $200 ticket!!!! the license would of only cost $20 a year!!!! ughhh... my point is u should get them licensed asap so u dont go thru what i went thru..... The funny thing was when animal control came, i had 2 dogs at the time and he saw both of them but he only asked for the license for my jr. Maybe cuz the jr was the one that was being reported???? Anywho, im not sure if this helps or answers your question at all LOL!!!!!! I was told the max amount of dogs per household in oc is 3. (not sure tho) Good Luck! | |

| Thanks for all your replys. Yes I totally agree with Bravo916, CA is fining every little thing they can b/c the state has no money. You know what? Neither do I! This guy is actually only giving us until Thursday to pay up. I really hope this is something I can drop off payment, and not have him come back b/c there are two more dogs out back. We are still listed as riverside county residents, but Uni's vet paperwork says my anaheim address, where I have been living for the past year. Either way, she is not licensed at all in any county. Looks like I'm just gonna have to pony up the cash for this. :

| In case anyone else is interested. I looked up some info on the OC animal care website. There is a 3 dog limit per house. By law, all dogs need to be licensed to indicate ownership, as well as if the pet is lost, they can contact you. As far as the license fee, I found a loophole. if your dog is an assistance dog, there is no charge for licensing. Anyone know how to get Uni certified? LOL
