Dog licensing is more than just a legal requirement—it’s a simple, powerful way to keep pets safe and strengthen our community. A license is your dog’s ticket home if they ever get lost, providing animal services with the information needed to reunite families quickly and safely. Licensing fees also directly support the care, sheltering, and lifesaving work that Cincinnati Animal CARE provides to thousands of animals each year. Through the License to Love campaign, we aim to remind Hamilton County pet owners that this small tag represents big peace of mind—it’s an act of love, responsibility, and protection that helps every dog find their way home. • 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
