Summary:
Montgomery County Commissioners Dan Foley, Judy Dodge, and Debbie Lieberman, along with County Auditor Karl Keith, kicked off "Dog License Amnesty Weeks" during a press conference on Friday, August 7, 2009.

The Amnesty program is designed to encourage dog owners to license their dogs and pay only the $16.00 license fee with no penalty.  Revenue from licensing is the Animal Resource Center's major source of funding.  Proceeds from license sales help the Animal Resource Center to care for stray and lost animals, spay and neuter every animal that leaves the center as an adopted pet and provide animal control services to our region.

Amnesty dog licenses will be sold from 8 a.m., Saturday, August 8th through 5 p.m., Monday, August 24th at the following locations:

Auditor's Office, County Administration Building, 451 W. Third Street, Dayton
