Pet Licensing
Licensing your pet helps keep them safer, easier to return home, and compliant with local city and county requirements. It also helps Wenatchee Valley Animal Care & Control maintain current owner records, reunite lost pets faster, and support animal control services in our community.
Whether you are licensing your pet for the first time or renewing an existing license, you can complete your license in person, by phone, or by mail.
Online renewals are not available at this time. We are working on adding an online renewal option and will update this page when it becomes available.
What you’ll need
To help us process your pet’s license, please provide:
Your current contact information
Your pet’s name, species, breed, age, color, and sex
Proof of current rabies vaccination
Proof of spay/neuter surgery, if applying for the altered pet rate
If you have recently moved, please call us before renewing. Your licensing fee or licensing requirements may have changed depending on your new address.
Why licensing matters
Licensing is more than a tag. It helps:
Reunite lost pets with their families faster
Keep owner contact information current
Support rescue and care for stray, sick, and injured animals
Assist Animal Care & Control with animal-related concerns like cruelty & neglect
Support local animal control services & the WVHS shelter animals
