Owners are required to register dangerous or potentially dangerous dogs at the Tri-Cities Animal Shelter located at 1312 South 18th Avenue in Pasco.

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