Every dog in the City of Eugene and unincorporated Lane County MUST obtain a license when one of two things occurs: either the dog reaches the age of six months, or it obtains its permanent canine teeth, 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 shot unless specifically exempted for medical reasons, in writing, by a licensed veterinarian. Proof of spay or neuter must be presented if applicable. Licenses can be purchased or renewed in person or through the mail.

Dog License Vendors

When purchasing a license from a Vet, advise them 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 LCARA for a duplicate. For renewals, keep your current license tag and pay the renewal fee to the Vet, or our Agency. You should NOT be issued a new number. Thank you for your assistance in helping us to maintain accurate records.

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

It enables Lane County Animal Regulation Authority to protect your neighborhood from dangerous dogs and investigate dog bites.
Licensing helps pay for the care and adoption of homeless animals.
It supports investigations of cruelty, neglect and abandonment of domestic animals and livestock.
A license allows the officer that finds your stray dog to take it right home, saving you time and money.
The silver tag is easily recognized.
