Keep in Mind/Tips
All dogs in Clackamas County are required to be licensed. All county residents must purchase dog licenses from Clackamas County Dog Services, except people who live inside the city limits of one of the following three cities, Happy Valley, Lake Oswego or Tualatin, which have their own licensing requirements.
It is the law to license your dog. But dog licensing also:
- gives you around-the-clock notification at your home phone number or emergency number if you lose your licensed pet and someone finds it
- tells everyone that your pet is yours and is never mistaken as a stray
- helps pay for the care of homeless animals while attempts are made to find them adoptable homes
- provides emergency medical care while your dog is with Clackamas County, if your dog is ever found injured
- helps the county protect neighborhoods from dangerous dogs and investigate dog bite incidents
- funds investigations of animal cruelty, abuse, abandonment and neglect
- supports efforts to find good homes for stray dogs through our active adoption process
If you own or are keeping a dog in Clackamas County, you must purchase a license:
- when the dog is 6 months of age or grows its permanent canine teeth, whichever comes first
- within 30 days of becoming owner or keeper
- within 30 days of moving to the county
