Pet Licensing Deadline Approaches! What you need to know
Licensing your pets is a legal requirement in Omaha and all cities in Sarpy County, so by licensing your pets, you are following the law. That’s important.
Licensing means your animal is registered with your city. If there is ever a dispute over who owns a pet, a license is a legal record of your ownership. If a dispute like this happens, licensing turns out to be super important in settling the matter.
And this isn’t simply a legal issue- it’s a safety and peace of mind thing also. “License tags are a great way to identify stray pets and help them get back home safe and sound,” says Pam Wiese of the Nebraska Humane Society.
In addition, “Licensed pets found running stray may be eligible for a ‘free ride home’ if the owners are at home to receive the dog and there are no other animal control violations,” Wiese adds. This is not a promise, as sometimes animal controls call load precludes this service, but it can be a perk! “NHS’s Free Ride Home Program has resulted in over 3,000 dogs being returned to their homes by Animal Control Officers. Licensing your dogs increases the chances of being reunited with your lost pet,” says Mark Langan, VP of Field Operations at the shelter.
Licensing is the law in Omaha and Sarpy County for good reason. In order to license your pet, he or she must have current rabies vaccination, which protects everyone (pets and people) from this fatal disease.
If you license in person at the Nebraska Humane Society, the processing fee is waived. License fees are a non-refundable city fee. Licensing Deadline. The deadline to license your pet is Tuesday, March 15th, 2016.
You can License your pet online, license through the mail, in person at the shelter, and even do it at participating vet clinics.
Please Note: A $5 processing fee will be charged when licensing online, by mail or at participating vet clinics. If you license in person at the Nebraska Humane Society, the processing fee is waived. License fees are a non-refundable city fee.
