If my dog is never out of the yard / house do they still need a licence?
Many of the dogs that are brought to the animal shelter are dogs that have never run loose before. Perhaps someone has opened your gate without you noticing or perhaps during a high wind your fence has blown down. During a storm or fireworks, many dogs who have become frightened run away from their home to escape whatever has scared them. Expect the unexpected and protect your dog with a dog licence.
