Below, you will find the many ways you can register a pet. All Fulton County pet owners must register their pets as required by law. Doing so not only ensures that Animal Services Officers can contact you if your pet is lost, but the license fee also helps cover the cost of caring for homeless and injured pets in the county shelter. Pet owners whose pets aren’t registered may receive a citation and have to go to court.
If you have found a pet in Fulton County with a registered rabies tag, look up the rabies tag owner’s information online and help reunite that pet with their family.
If the tag isn’t registered, please visit our Found Pets page for tips on what to do next before bringing a lost pet to the shelter.
