You may renew your pet's license within 60 days of your pet's current license expiration date. If you renew prior to the upcoming expiration date, your pet's new license will start the day after expiration, not on the date of purchase.

Refunds may be granted for a license if a pet passes 30 days of the license purchase.

As per California State law, a pet license may not be valid at anytime a pet's rabies vaccination is expired.

Licenses expire at the end of the license term selected unless your pet's current rabies vaccination expiration date falls prior to the end of the term. A license cannot be valid at any time a pet's rabies is expired. If you provide new proof of rabies expiration extending beyond the original term selected prior to the license expiration date, your pet's license may be extended to the full term originally selected.

All dogs over the age of 4 months are required to be licensed.

You may license in person at the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe located at 10961 Stevens Ln, Truckee CA 96161.

Temporary licenses expire after 60 days. To convert a temporary license into a full license you must provide new proof of rabies expiration prior to the temporary license expiration date. If the rabies expiration date extends beyond the original term selected, your pet's license may be extended to the full term originally selected. If the newly provided rabies expiration date falls prior to the term end, the new license expiration date will be the same as the rabies vaccination expiration date.

Licenses are required to be renewed prior to the expiration date each year.
