Please do your pet, yourself and the Cut Bank Animal Shelter a favor. The cost is so minimal to the despair that we have seen this past year, because dogs did not have tags.
 
It is heartbreaking for the owners of animals to have their pets missing, but equally heartbreaking for those of us in Animal Control and Rescue. Our hands are tied about getting treatment for an animal before contacting an owner. The heartbreak of a missing dog is a worry all pet owners share. It's best to think the unthinkable and do everything we can to provide proper identification for our dogs in the event they are lost or injured. A good dog collar with an ID tag or a City License is the first line of defense.
 
Please license your dogs to help us return your pet back home or to obtain medical treatment for your pet in an emergency situation. Licensing your pet is not meant to be punishment to you or your pet; it is meant to keep your pet safe. Your pets are counting on you to be there for them.
