Amnesty program announced for pet licensing; vaccination clinic
The Inland Valley Human Society and the city of Claremont started a amnesty program for Claremont residents to encourage residents to bring their pet's license into compliance without a penalty."
The fee will be waived from Sept. 13 to 27 when owners license their pets at the Humane Society, 500 Humane Society Way, Pomona.
Residents need a spay/neuter certificate if applicable and a copy of the animal's current rabies certificate.
Unaltered dog licenses are $40 and altered dog licenses are $20. There will be a discount of $5 for seniors on the altered dogs.
In California, every dog over age 4 months is required to have a current license and be vaccinated against rabies.
The Inland Valley Humane Society & S.P.C.A. monitors the licensing and rabies control program for the City of Claremont.
Numerous dog owners purchase identification tags for their animals under the belief it is the only identification needed but city and state rules require every dog to be issued and wear a valid license.
This license will have a numbered code and contact number of the local humane society where the dog is registered.
The humane society can find a dog's information in the computer if it becomes lost and retrieve the owner contact information including phone number, address and if the dog has a current rabies vaccination.
The Inland Valley Humane Society also assists dog owners with getting a reduced fee rabies vaccine through having vaccination clinics.
From 7 to 8 p.m. Sept. 14 the humane society will have a low cost vaccination clinic at College Park, 100 S. College Park.
There is an 8 p.m. cut-off time and the clinic is held on a first-come-first-served basis.
Humane society staff will also be able to license the pet.
For more information, contact the humane society licensing department at 909-623-9777, Ext. 652 or 653.
