Dog tag will be processed and mailed, and gate access will be continued as long as the rabies certificate we have on file is current. If the rabies certificate we have on file is not current, please attach a copy along with this form. This information was on the renewal letter we emailed in November.

 

 

Please attach your dog's current rabies vaccination certificate to the email of your Facility Use Permit or Waiver Form. If you don't have an electronic copy, please bring the certificate when you purchase your tag. We cannot assign a tag to your dog without this certificate on file.  Thank you!
