Learn why licensing your dog or cat in Milwaukee County is the best deal in town! By choosing to license your pet you are partnering with Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) as we all work together to ensure animals find their fastest route home. Why get a license? License tags for dogs and cats work the same as a driver’s license works for the rest of us. Each tag corresponds with your contact information that we keep on file and provide to MADACC Animal Control Officers or local law enforcement if we find your dog or cat when it is away from home without you. This allows us to reach you and reunite you with your lost pet within minutes of finding them! License tags also provide proof that your best friend is vaccinated against rabies, which means they are in compliance with state law. Should your animal ever get into a situation where they need to be quarantined because of a bite to a person, proof of an up-to-date vaccine may make your animal eligible for an in-home quarantine instead of being held in our facility for the state mandated 10-day quarantine period. Membership has its privileges! In Milwaukee County, if your animal is found wearing a current license tag, it is part of an exclusive club! Licensed animals in Milwaukee County are eligible for the following benefits: FAST TRACK! Found animals with current license information can be quickly reunited with their families or if severely injured rushed to the veterinarian of your choosing (within Milwaukee County and within a reasonable radius from where animal is found) where you can meet your animal and discuss care with medical professionals. FREE RIDE HOME! The first time your licensed pet is picked up or brought to MADACC, it will receive a free ride or free pass to go home eliminating its stay or even skipping a trip to MADACC altogether! FREE SPAY/NEUTER OPPORTUNITIES! MADACC offers owners of cats and Pit Bull terriers/Pit Bull terrier mix dogs a free spay or neuter surgery when you come to pick up your companion should your best friend enter MADACC because it has been lost. MADACC has low-cost spay and neuter services for all dogs and cats for Milwaukee County residents! Call us today to book your appointment at 414-649-8640.
