Historically, animal shelters have relied on pet licensing revenue to help fund essential services, including staffing, food, supplies, equipment, and animal care.
Here's why licensing your pet matters:
🐾 Support shelter animals: Licensing fees help provide the resources needed to care for animals in our community.
🏡 Bring lost pets home: A pet license is a simple, affordable way to help identify lost pets and reunite them with their families.
💻 Quick and convenient: Pet licenses can be purchased online or by mail!
And here's something especially important: Every pet license purchased in Sumner between now and the end of the year will directly help offset our city's 2026 animal sheltering costs!
It's a small purchase that makes a BIG difference for our four-legged friends!
