City to host final dog license clinic on Feb. 20

City of Nevada dog licenses must be purchased or renewed by March 1, and the last of a series of clinics hosted by the city is slated for Feb. 20, from 1 to 3 p.m., with Dr. Brad Copeland from the Nevada Veterinarian Clinic, at the Marmaduke Park community building.

The clinics aim to provide a convenient way for dog owners to secure vaccinations if needed and to purchase the license.

Dogs older than 6 months old must be licensed. The fee is $2 for each spayed female or neutered male, $5 for unneutered males and $7.50 for unspayed females.

To obtain the license, owners must provide proof of rabies vaccination. Vaccinations will be available at the clinic.

Licenses are issued for the calendar year beginning Jan. 1 and are considered delinquent after March 1, after which a penalty is assessed.

Dog licenses must be worn by the dog, attached to a collar, and are not transferable from one dog to another, according to the related city ordinance.
