Dog Licensing Requirements
To get a dog license in Yamhill County, you'll need to obtain a rabies certificate, which is a requirement for licensing.
You can obtain a dog license at Yamhill County Dog Control, located at Homeward Bound Spay and Neuter Clinic, or by mail to Homeward Bound Pets Dog Licensing.
The license tag must be attached securely to a collar or harness on the dog at all times when the dog is not indoors or in an enclosed pen.
You can also license your dog by phone, but you'll need to send your rabies certificate prior to calling.
If you've received a citation or written warning, you may license at a remote location, such as Newberg Veterinary Hospital. However, please note that paperwork is only picked up from remote licenser locations once a month, and you'll need to add 45 days to your turnaround time.
Here are the locations where you can license your dog:
- Yamhill County Dog Control, Homeward Bound Spay and Neuter Clinic, 723 NE Evans, McMinnville, OR 97128
- By mail to Homeward Bound Pets Dog Licensing, P.O. Box 1676, McMinnville, OR 97128
- By phone 503-472-0341, ext. 4
- Newberg Veterinary Hospital, 3716 E Portland Road, Newberg, Oregon 97132
You'll be responsible for paying a late fee if you don't license your dog on time, which is double the yearly license fee plus the appropriate license fee.
Why License Your Dog
You need to license your dog because it's the law in Yamhill County.
In fact, it's unlawful for any dog owner or person in control of a dog to fail to procure a license.
This means you'll need to get a license tag issued to you, which must be attached securely to your dog's collar or harness whenever they're outside or in an enclosed pen.
The license tag is a requirement, so don't even think about skipping it.
