Every dog in the City of Eugene and unincorporated Lane County MUST be licensed when one of two things occurs:

either the dog reaches the age of six months
or its permanent canine teeth emerge

whichever comes first. Failure to provide and keep the license current may result in a late fee and/or fine.

In order to obtain a license, a dog owner must present documentation showing that the dog has a current rabies inoculation unless specifically exempted for medical reasons, in writing, by a licensed veterinarian. Proof of the animal undergoing a spay or neuter procedure must be presented if applicable. Licenses can be purchased or renewed in person, on-line or through the mail at Lane County Animal Services (LCAS), both City of Eugene and Lane County city offices (listed below) or participating veterinarians (also listed below).

Thank you for being a good owner and taking the steps to license your pet - a license is your dog's 'phone call home' in the event of loss.

Licensing changes
All dogs inside the City of Eugene are required to have a license. Prior to July 1, 2012 Lane County issued dog licenses for all dogs in the county, including the City of Eugene. Those licenses will remain valid for the term of the license, regardless of whether the dog resides in Eugene or unincorporated Lane County.

All former county licenses for dogs in the City of Eugene that will expire after July 1, 2012 will be renewed through the City of Eugene and they will now be given City of Eugene licenses.

All first-time licenses for dogs in Eugene will now be City of Eugene licenses.

Lane County dog license vendors

When purchasing a license from a participating veterinarian, advise staff if this is your first license purchase or a renewal. The vet should issue new dog licenses only so that you don't end up with duplicate licenses in our system.

If you lose your license, please contact Lane County Animal Services (LCAS) for a duplicate. For renewals, keep your current license tag and pay the renewal fee to the veterinarian or LCAS. You should NOT be issued a new number. Thank you for your assistance in helping to maintain accurate records.

Please educate yourself to the licensing laws before you purchase a license.

Do you live in Eugene and own more than three dogs?
Do you live in the unincorporated area of Lane County and own more than eight dogs?
Do you breed dogs as a business?
Do you own a boarding kennel?
Are you purchasing the correct license for the area where you live?
If you are new to the area, is your current license transferable?
Has your dog been classified potentially dangerous?

Top ten reasons to license your dog

Licensing your dog(s) makes the statement that your pet is not a homeless stray and that its owner cares enough to register the pet legally.
Licensing means Lane County Animal Services will call and/or send a letter if your lost pet comes to the shelter.
A license enables Lane County Animal Services to protect your neighborhood from dangerous dogs and investigate dog bites.
Licensing helps pay for the care and adoption of homeless animals through the shelter.
Licensing supports investigations of cruelty, neglect and abandonment of domestic animals and livestock.
A license allows the officer who finds your stray dog to take it right home, saving you time and money.
The silver license tag is easily recognized.
Licensing supports youth programs covering humane ethics and safety with animals.
Licensing helps to pay for emergency services. If an animal is seriously injured, sick or aggressive, LCAS can respond appropriately.
A license is a phone call home for a dog who can't tell us where he/she lives!
