dog tags

alexs' and peanuts' tags came today, so they have new bling. in columbus ohio the tags come through the county auditor site, and it was just 2 years ago that the registration was computerized so there could be online payments, and to an extent you could be 'nagged' to pay your fees. it's much easier to do this online as opposed to driving to the only 3 locations that had the tags in this county. the site has my demographics, a description of the dog (age, colors, hair length, breed, spaying/neutering) and name. i think that that would help if, god forbid, either one went missing.

Sierra and Bud got their new Bling this week also!
I'm lucky here in Lake County, yearly licenses are sold at a lot of places.
I bought mine where I buy my dog food.
They are also for sale at the Mall and other places!
Hummm.... I'll have to take a picture of Bud's new bling on his new Ohio State Collar for you Joyce!! I'm SURE you'd just Looooooove to see that!!

That's cool you can do it online. Here in Piqua the just send us a postcard in the mail, we send a SASE and they send them to us.
We got ours in the mail the week before Christmas, so we have new bling too!(are your guys tags silver also?)

We get ours at the vets. Rusty got his Big boy tags on Dec. 22nd! he is very proud of his bling! Sequoia came from Mo so it will cost me to transfer tags and register her here, then she will get bling from Dr Pope!

um, my dog's never been registered with our town, oops. He has an engraved nameplate with address and phone number though.

Neither has mine Suki. And I refuse to ever do it as long as I live here and that will probably be for the rest of my life. LOL. 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" but here it's a joke. The local Humane Society here is a BIG joke and they are rude (the HS) and that's where the money goes (after the county office gets it cut and they do less than the HS......which equals nothing). I take care of my own dogs. It wouldn't surprise me if our county decided that they wanted to tax and license goldfish, hamsters and gerbils if they thought they could do it and not get flak for doing it. When our county and the local Humane Society here starts living up to what they are supposed to do then I might CONSIDER paying the license fee after some long thought on the subject.
