Summary:
There's still time to buy your 2009 Montgomery County Dog License without penalty! 

"Over 650 dog owners have taken advantage of the Amnesty program," said Animal Resource Center Director Mark Kumpf. "We will be offering Amnesty tags for just $16 through Monday, August 24th and encourage dog owners who still need a tag to come see us."

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 are being sold at the following locations:

•  Auditor's Office, County Administration Building,  451 W. Third Street, Dayton
•  Online at:  www.mcohio.org
•  Animal Resource Center, 6790 Webster Street, Dayton
•  Humane Society of Greater Dayton, 1661 Nicholas Road, Dayton
•  SICSA, 2600 Wilmington Pike, Kettering
•  City of Kettering Animal Control, 3600 Shroyer Road, Kettering

Dog License Amnesty continues through 5 p.m. on Monday, August 24th. 

A Montgomery County dog license can be traced 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  A license distinguishes a lost dog from a stray dog.  A Montgomery County Dog License provides legal proof of ownership, and licensed dogs are eligible for the Vacation Registration Program.  For more information, contact the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center at:  937-898-4457.
