To qualify for the discounted licensing price, you will need to bring proof of your pet’s spay/neuter. Additionally, proof of a previous rabies vaccine is required to receive a license. If your pet does not have proof of a rabies vaccine, they may receive the vaccine at the event before obtaining the license.
