Question

Why do I need to license my pet?

Answer

There are a few great reasons to license your pet with the City of Fayetteville. First and most importantly, your pet’s tag is her ticket home if she gets lost. Your pet’s city license increases the odds of her being returned to you. If your pet has its’ license our Animal Services Officers will attempt to return your pet to you if they pick it up. Also, those tags prove that your pet is not a stray. If we have an animal that we know has an owner, we will hold onto the animal for five days longer than we do strays. Failure to register your cat or dog with the City of Fayetteville can result in a citation. In the end, it is safer and cheaper than not getting the license.
