[QUOTE=Love That Collie]I have no knowledge of what other posters towns/cities are like in how they distribute the money from the money collected for these so called "licenses" ...
franklin county, ohio has a lost dogs website, you enter the year and the number on the tag and the humans' info shows up. if ever peanut went missing, anyone could track her to me. and thank the lord for that website. alex went missing 6 years ago, for half a day and i thought my heart would break. yes, they're both chipped, but the point is they can be returned to me. this is a valuable part of my fees.

If we don't get our tags/license around here and they find out, we can get a pretty hefty fine and we don't want that!

If only we had anything remotely comparable to what any of the others HS and counties offer in return for the TAX, but they don't. Nothing. AND they won't even come and pick up a CAT outside of the city limits!! Not even if its hurt! They will pick up a dog though. Figure that one out?? There's NO dog parks whatsoever, never has been. They pass on the charge for the spay/neuter to the adoptive owners. The only form of Animal Control is our HS and the city has a big problem with dogs that are just roaming the streets. The list goes on. If they fined me, I'd say try and collect it. All they can do it get a lien against you personally and that's something I'd never pay. They PTS more animals here than you can shake a stick at.

These tags are cheap metals.. I use clear fingernail polish on the tags to prevent " green neck" mark on a white dog... I also keep these tags ONLY on the collars they would wear outside the house.. When they start losing the metal, getting that metal off the coat is almost impossible! Just a thought..
