When I move to Saginaw County from another county, what happens to my current license?

If a dog owner lives in another county and has a current license form and/or tag from that county (proof required, with rabies current), the owner can obtain a “courtesy” tag.  A blank form will be filled out at the Treasurer’s office or participating veterinarians at no charge.


 

Do you have any information on microchip implantation or tattoo identification for my pet?

A microchip implantation and registration may be obtained through any license veterinarian.  Individuals interested in having their dog tattooed should contact Tina Moreno at (517) 241-2748 to locate an individual approved by the department to tattoo dogs in their area.

When a dog owner purchases a current dog license and loses that current dog license, that dog owner can purchase another current dog license for $5.00, and sign a printed affidavit that states the loss of the current dog license at the Saginaw County Treasurer at 111 South Michigan Ave, Saginaw MI 48602.
