King County Canvassers Will Do Door-to-door Pet License Outreach

From the City of Bellvue: Regional Animal Services of King County staff in collaboration with partner cities, will go door to door on weekends, starting Saturday, April 1, to educate residents about the benefits of pet licensing and ensure that pets are properly licensed. All cats and dogs eight weeks and older are required to be licensed with King County.

Pet licensing representatives will visit neighborhoods in Bellevue and other King County cities on weekends through October. In Bellevue, they will focus on neighborhoods they missed last year along the Redmond border (in the 98008 zip code), as well as the recently incorporated areas south of Interstate 90 in the 98006 zip code.

Pet licenses protect pets and help sustain vital animal care and control services, such as:

• Reuniting owners with their lost pets, including providing licensed pets a free ride home;
• Adopting pets by supporting care at both county pet adoption centers;
• Responding to reports of dangerous or nuisance animals; and
• Investigating and prosecuting cases of animal cruelty or neglect.

King County pet licenses can be purchased online, by mail or in person at City Hall, Mini-City Hall at Crossroads, all QFC stores in Bellevue or Aerowood Animal Hospital. You can also call 206-296-2712.
