Are you harboring a fugitive? On Monday, April 17th at 10:30 a.m. at SCRAPS, Mayor Condon and Nancy Hill will be announcing the “May is Amnesty Month” pet licensing drive for SCRAPS.
SCRAPS is willing to waive late fees and penalties all month long for any pet owner who is willing to come forward and license their pets.
“Pet licensing is a very important part of what we do here at SCRAPS”, said Nancy Hill, the Executive Director of SCRAPS. “It’s your pet’s phone call home in case they get lost or stolen.”
Many pet owners don’t realize that licensing their pet is mandatory in Spokane County – that’s includes both cats and dogs. It is required by law for all animals over 6 months of age and owners can face a $200 penalty if their animals aren’t in compliance.
In addition to providing owner information for your pet, there are many other benefits to having a licensed pet:
- Animal Protection Officers can look up a pet license and get owner information 24/7
- Pet licensing funds SCRAPS spay/neuter voucher program
Anyone who licenses during the month of May is also eligible for a raffle that includes free meter parking in the city for a month along with other prizes. SCRAPS is located at 6815 E. Trent Ave in Spokane Valley.
