They come in by the
thousands each year: Pets who have clearly been someone’s companion;
Dogs with obedience training; Cats who are well fed and well taken care
of; Animals with collars, but no tags, and no microchips. If only we knew who they belonged to, we could get them back home!
Licensing your pet is one of the best ways to ensure that if he
strays or she gets lost, they come back home to you. It is also the law
in most metro area communities. Below is a quick reference guide of
cities in the metro and what they require.
You may license in person at the Nebraska Humane Society, by mail, at
area veterinarians, or online from the comfort of your own home! (Licensing
in person at NHS avoids a processing fee. Licensing by mail, through
your veterinarian or online will add a $5 processing fee.) To learn
more about licensing your pet, click on your area of residence. The
online option appears at the bottom of the page. Allow 4 -6 weeks for
delivery of your pet tags. Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express are accepted for online
or in person transactions.
Starting July 15, 2010, license fees in all jurisdictions will go up
by $1.00 per state ordinance to fund the “State Commercial Dog and Cat
Operator Inspection Program”.
*License fees are a non refundable city fee. In the event that
your pet is deceased, you may be able to transfer the license to a new
pet. Please click on your jurisdiction for more information.
If you live in Sarpy County, but outside of the defined city limits
of your town, your address may fit the category of unincorporated. We
know it can be confusing--so if you have questions email us with your
name and address and we'll be happy to help.
