After nearly 5 years of partnering with Docupet for pet licensing services, your Lincoln County Animal Shelter is bringing pet licensing back in house. Beginning September 1, 2024, Lincoln County pet licenses will no longer be available through Docupet. If you have a Docupet account, you will still have access to your account, including the HomeSafetm 24/7 lost pet service. As we transition back to providing all licensing services through your Lincoln County Animal Shelter, all new license purchases and renewals can be obtained by mail, in person at the Lincoln County Animal Shelter, or over the phone. We are still in the process of developing an online licensing option.
We’d like to take this opportunity to remind our community why licensing is important: License fees help support Lincoln County Animal Shelter and Services programs and operations, including providing food, veterinary care, safe shelter, training, behavior enrichment, foster and adoption services to hundred of animals each year. License fees are an important way the community supports our policy of not euthanizing animals for space and finding new homes for as many animals as possible.
License fees help support Lincoln County Animal Services in their investigations into loose dogs, nuisance animals, aggressive dogs, bite reports, and reports of animal cruelty. Lastly, dog licenses are required by law. By having your dog licensed, you avoid potential fines. If your dog is brought to the shelter and is current on their license, then the first impound fee is waived. Failure to obtain a dog license could result in a citation with a fine up to $265.

If you are not sure if your pet’s license is current, or you would like to purchase a pet license, please contact your Lincoln County Animal Shelter at 541-265-0720 or at lcanimalshelter@co.lincoln.or.us.
