The cost for licensing unaltered pets is higher than for licensing spayed or neutered pets in order to promote sterilization and to reduce pet overpopulation.

Required Paperwork

  1. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required if the rabies vaccination on file has expired. Please check your certificate for correct address and pet information. The rabies certificate must also contain the vaccination dates, vaccine manufacturer, vaccine product name and veterinarian’s signature.

    Please note: If your dog has a rabies deferment, you will not be able to apply for or renew a license online or by mail. You will need to apply for or renew a license directly with the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter. Please contact the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter from 11:00am to 4:00pm, 7 days a week, for assistance and directions on licensing a dog that has a rabies deferment.

  2. Proof of spay/neuter, such as a signed statement from a veterinarian or an invoice for services is required if the pet has been altered since the last licensing period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.
  3. Proof of owner’s age is required to receive the discounted fees for senior citizens age 65 and over.

Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain a copy of your documents for your records.
