Proof of spay or neuter must be presented if applicable. <br /> If you live in unincorporated Lane County you will need to purchase your license through <br /> Lane County Animal Services or a participating license vendor. If you live within the city limits <br /> of an incorportated city, contact your city hall for information on obtaining a license. <br /> Licenses can be purchased or renewed in person, through the mail, over the phone, or you <br /> can check with your vet to see if they sell our licenses. For phone -in licenses, LCAS must <br /> already have your current rabies vaccination records on file. <br /> Top Ten Reasons to License Your Dog <br /> 1.
