Having a licensed tag for your dog is one of the most responsible and caring things you can do for your beloved pet. Your dog license tag contains information registered with the township in the event your pet ever gets lost. With this information the township can reunite you with your pet as quickly as possible, while protecting and respecting your privacy.
