Why should I get a license for my dog? Because it's the law! And, a license is a lost dog's ticket home! When your dog has its license attached to its collar, its assigned license number is all that is necessary for our Office to identify the dog's owner. Call us during working hours: am - pm at for assistance. We also share our computer database with all dog wardens and the Animal Protective League.
What if I forget to buy my dog's license during the renewal period of December 1st through January 31st? Ohio law requires a late fee equal to the cost of the license. There are no provisions in the law to waive the fee. Can I let my dog run loose if he is licensed? It is against the law. Ohio law specifies that all dogs must be confined to your property or under reasonable control - such as on a leash when being walked. It is not safe to let your dog roam the neighborhood.
What do I do if I find a lost dog? What if I move? If you move within Cuyahoga County, you can complete a transfer form by clicking the "Transfer Ownership" link or you can call with your new address and telephone number so we can keep the information up-to-date.
If you move to another county, call that County's Auditor for licensing information. Does my dog need a rabies vaccination? The Cuyahoga County Board of Health requires that all dogs, cats and ferrets that reside in the Boards health jurisdiction are vaccinated against the rabies virus when they turn 4 months old. Protecting pets against rabies creates an effective barrier between potentially disease-carrying wild animals and the human population. By vaccinating your pet against rabies, you also protect your loved ones from this deadly virus.

The penalty can be avoided if you purchase the dog license immediately upon acquiring the dog. After the renewal period of December 1st through January 31st , a penalty will be assessed for all dogs licensed that are older than three months of age and have been owned for more than 30 days.
