Rabies Vaccination and Registration
Boone County Animal Services is excited to announce PawFinders rabies licenses for 2021. As an added benefit when registering their dog or cat with Boone County, owners can register their pet on PawFinders.com using the unique QR code on the back of their 2021 Boone County rabies licenses for only $2.99! If the pet gets lost after it’s owner has registered their PawFinders rabies license, a finder can scan the tag with their smart phone’s camera and be connected with the owner directly. The owner can select whether to call them directly, link to their social media accounts, or link to another contact method of their choice. Please go to www.PawFinders.com for more information on the PawFinders rabies licenses, how to register them, and how to help someone find their lost pet with a PawFinders rabies license on it’s collar.
All Dogs and Cats must be Vaccinated Against Rabies and Registered with Boone County
