Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE is introducing a new method to help pet owners find a lost or missing dog or cat by creating our new Missing Pet Network.

“If your dog is missing, a dog license tag attached to the collar of your pet is the best way of notifying you if someone finds your pet” Scalise stated.

You will be able to post a picture and information of when the pet was last seen on our website. All posts will remain on our site for 30 days.

If anyone finds a lost dog that is wearing a Summit County dog tag, they can visit Kristen’s Kanine Search to locate the owner.

Ohio law requires that you license your dog; a license tag attached to the dog’s collar proves ownership and is your pet’s ticket home. Dogs without tags can be impounded. 2012 dog licenses can be purchased beginning December 1 through January 31, 2012. Do the right things for your dog to keep him happy and safe.
