It's Time to Renew Your Cedaredge Dog/Cat License

By
Real Estate Agent with CinaJones Real Estate

Actually if you haven't renewed by now, you are late. I don't believe there's a late fee, but check with the town on this. The town would like to have all dog/cat licenses renewed by the end of January. 

If you had an previous license, then you have already received a notice in the mail reminding you to renew. My notice went to the wrong address, and I received a courtesy call today from the animal control officer. That call was to confirm my address and to remind me to get my dog's license renewed. 

It's Time to Renew Your Cedaredge Dog/Cat LicenseThe charge is $10/year for a dog or cat that is spayed or neutered. If your pet isn't fixed the fee is $50/year. Here's more information. You must have proof of your pet having a rabies shot to get a license. 

If you don't get your dog/cat licensed and it's caught running loose, the fines can be pretty steep. The base fine is usually $50, but it depends on the judge and if you are a repeat offender. The fines could go higher. Although I've never heard of anyone getting a fine for an at large cat. 

If you live out of town you don't need to have a pet license. Keep in mind if your dog or cat gets lost and is wearing a license tag, it's easier for you to find your pet. Your information can be tracked through the license number. 

That is Lucky the Wonder Dog in the picture. He wasn't running loose. He was playing at a Grand Junction dog park. 

In talking with Michelle, the animal control officer, I learned that this year the town will do it's low cost dog vaccines in May. So be on the lookout for more information on that program as we get closer to the date. 

 I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 26 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a REALTOR®, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.

That is great information to get out there, Debbie. Pet owners are generally passionate about their pets and want to keep them safe and out of trouble.

I completely agree with you, Kathleen Daniels . Lucky is chipped and he doesn't wear his tags, but his collar is marked with my name and phone number. I did this with a marker. I have to redo it every so often, but he's got a heavy duty collar he isn't likely to get off.

Hi, Beth Atalay ...to me it's really important to make sure there is every possible way to find your pet should he/she get lost. I also have Lucky chipped.

Hi, Nina Hollander ...in Cedaredge you must renew on each year in January. Although our code enforcement officer isn't aware of this. She let that slip in our conversation.

Hi, Dick Greenberg ...I have Lucky chipped and I know a tag won't stay on him so I don't put it one. Plus it would just get in the way at the dog park. It's a small town and the code enforcement officer knows me. They also all know Lucky. We are covered. I also have Lucky's collar marked with my name and phone number.

Hi, Jerry Lucas ...cats will kills birds, but they also kill rodents. That's a good thing (not about the birds. I hate that, too). So there is a trade off. I like having birds around and that's why I trapped and took 7 feral cats to my local shelter. All but one has found a home.

Hi, Ron and Alexandra...a locational chip would be nice and it's probably in our future, but for now we have to settle for the standard chip. My dog is chipped. I want take all measure to make sure I can get him back should he get lost.

Hi, Robert Bob Gilbert ...it's great your local shelter doesn't have to put down so many animals. I love hearing that. I also love your posts and I know they are helping to get the dogs adopted out. Keep doing what you are doing. If we all do a little...we can do a lot.

I'm glad you have Zeke licensed, Rebecca. It's the right thing to do and it can make it easier for you to find him if he gets lost...which I'm sure he won't.

Hi, Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® ...I have Lucky chipped. It's the best thing to do in my opinion.

Thank goodness the answer is NO to that question, James Dray . BTW...I do have my dog chipped. I want to make extra sure we can connect back together should he get lost.

Thank you for your great comment, Brian. I agree...get the license. It's another way to make sure your dog or cat can get back to you if they are found and have a tag.

I completely agree with you, Debbie Reynolds . I'm passionate enough that I've had Lucky chipped. I want to have all my bases covered should we become separated. Thank you for stopping by.
