www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday December 13, 2008 - 19 `Tis the season to renew pet licences T is the season to renew and for smart pet owners that tag, purchasing their pet's annual licence early saves money in fees and fines. Dog owners are required by Town of Oakville By-law #1982-145, as amended, to licence their pet annually. Owners with dogs that are not wearing a current licence tag can be fined $130. The Oakville and District Humane Society (ODHS) is contracted by the Town of Oakville to enforce this by-law. Each year licences are available at the beginning of December. Owners that purchase their dog tag before Feb. 15 save $5. Seniors over 65 years of age receive a 50 per cent discount. Spayed/neutered animals also receive a discount. "Every year, approximately 5,000 animals find themselves mation available on file. Keeping current with your tags is important and helps us to quickly reconnect you with your pet." The 2009 licence forms are available at the Oakville Town Hall located at 1225 Trafalgar Rd., the Oakville and District Humane Society at 445 Cornwall Rd. or www.oakvillehumane.ca, veterinarian offices, library branches, pet retailers, recreation and seniors' centres. The form will also appear in advertisements appearing in local newspapers in December and January. Courtesy renewal reminders are mailed or emailed to families with current tags. For more information about the current dog by-laws, visit www.oakville.ca or contact the Oakville and District Humane Society at 905845-1551. Cats are required by law to wear identification (tag, microchip), but are not licenced in the Town of Oakville.
