Oakland County Animal Shelter Launches New Dog Licensing Program
Oakland County is making it easier for residents to license their dogs and keep pets safe with the launch of a new, modern licensing program in partnership with DocuPet, a pet registration and lost-pet recovery service.
The new system streamlines dog licensing through an easy-to-use online platform while providing added protection if a pet becomes lost. Every dog license, which is good for 365 days from the purchase date, includes a DocuPet ID tag and access to HomeSafe®, a 24/7 lost-pet recovery service designed to help reunite pets with their families quickly, often before they ever enter a shelter. For more information please visit oaklandmich.docupet.com or call 248-674-6220.
