New to Town?

If you have recently moved to Town and your dog has a current, valid tag from the municipality in which you previously lived, you may qualify for a FREE replacement tag. Please contact the Town for full details.

Why License Your Dog?

Dog licence tags help to identify lost dogs effectively and reunite them with their family as quickly as possible. The purchase of a dog licence also helps to supplement the cost of animal control in the Town, encouraging responsible pet ownership. Animal Control helps to ensure dogs, cats and other animals do not harm people, other animals or property throughout the Town.

Dog licences are required by law. A fine may be issued for unlicensed dogs.

What about micro-chipping?

Micro-chipping is not required by the Town, but is encouraged as an additional measure to identify lost pets. Contact your veterinarian for information on micro-chipping.

What happens if my dog is lost?

If your dog is licensed with us and is wearing its tag, Animal Control makes every effort to contact you prior to taking your dog to the pound in Georgina. If your dog is lost and has no tag (or isn’t wearing the tag), contact Animal Control at 1-800-898-8606 to inquire if your dog has been picked up.
