Dog License Administration Changing

Dog License Administration Changing

Starting in 2024, the Town of Shelburne will be making it easier to purchase or renew dog tags!

The Town of Shelburne is delighted to partner with DocuPet, a world-leading pet profile, lost pet, and licensing platform. Pet owners will now receive a complimentary 24/7 lost pet service along with colourful and unique designer ID tags linked to a secure online profile when they license their dogs.

Residents will have the ability to order personalized tags online! Additionally the Town will update the licensing window from a calendar year approach to a 365-day model. Previously, dog licenses expired annually on December 31st, but through the new partnership with DocuPet, licenses are now valid for 365 days after purchase. This means that no matter what time of year residents purchase a dog’s license, it will be valid for 365 days.
