2021 Omaha Pet Licensing Info, Deadlines, Resources
It’s the end of the year, and one task all pet owners need to put on the front burner is licensing. Not only is licensing your animal the best way to make sure your pet makes it home safely should it become displaced, it’s required by law in most of the Metro area.
That said, the Nebraska Humane Society provides pet owners with many resources related to licensing. From a handy portal where one can license from anywhere there’s internet, to frequently asked questions and information about licensing service animals, the shelter is here to help.
Please find below a set of links and notes from the shelter, or click here to go to the Nebraska Humane Society’s Licensing page.
