For new pet parents in Yamhill County, the furry addition to the family comes with a responsibility: licensing that new pup within six months to comply with local ordinances and to keep their canine companion safe. The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office took to social media to remind residents to set a reminder now to avoid missing this crucial deadline.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, licensing a puppy doesn’t just tick a box; it “helps keep your pet safe” and can be a crucial aid in reuniting lost pets with their owners. The post emphasized the ease of the new online licensing portal, which residents can access to either register or renew dog licenses from the comfort of their own homes. The post also included a direct link to the form required for this process. “Adopt an older dog (over 6 months)? You have 30 days after welcoming them home to get your Yamhill County dog license,” the post shared.

For those who might need a little nudge, the Sheriff's Office advised setting a calendar reminder, ensuring that amid life's hustle and bustle, the licensing doesn't slip through the cracks. The message was clear: "Trust us, your future self will thank you."
