All Rock Island County residents should obtain their pet registration tags from Rock Island County Animal Care and Control. Pet tags may be purchased at the county animal shelter located at 4001 - 78th Avenue in Moline, or by calling (309) 558-3483 and requesting a tag by mail.

A dog/cat license is a permit to keep a dog/cat within the City/County limits. It is similar to licensing your vehicle. Licensing allows the City/County to keep track of current rabies vaccinations. Another benefit is a found, licensed dog/cat can be identified returned to the owner, if the dog/cat is wearing the registration tag. We all love animals and would rather see them safely at the Shelter, rather than running the streets. We get to see many happy reunions with pet owners.

Licenses can be purchased through the mail or in person at the Adoption Center. All dogs over the age of four months require a license in Oakland County. In order to purchase a license, a valid rabies certificate must be presented. Dogs are required to wear the license at all times. Cats do not require a license.

Neither is a vegan by nature -- dogs are omnivores, and cats are carnivores. While both dogs and cats belong to the class carnivora, this doesn't mean a lot, so does the panda bear and they are near vegan. By nature cats and dogs wouldn't eat anything like what is commonly found in a can of pet food either. Special diets must be provided for cats, as they require an amino acid called taurine -- found in the muscles of animals.
