Rabies Vaccine Required

To license your pet, they must have a current rabies vaccine.  You can have your pet vaccinated at the time of adoption, at your local veterinarian, or on Saturdays at Multnomah County Animal Services by Good Neighbor Vet.  Once you obtain your rabies vaccine certificate, please have it available in a PDF, JPG, or PNG file to upload to the license form below.

Your pet's rabies vaccine must be current. If necessary, we will contact your vet to obtain proof of a current rabies vaccination.

Note: If you have recently received a notice of infraction for no license from an officer, or are paying for an expired license, do not use this page. Instead, use the Renew & Pay for License page and enter the license number to be paid for. Alternately, you may pay for your license at a participating license vendor or at the shelter
