Dog owners in Tecumseh have a new way to register their pets.
The town has partnered with DocuPets, an online platform that offers licensing and other services to pet owners.
“We are thrilled to partner with DocuPet as their online dog licensing solution will be extremely valuable to pet owners and a necessity for animal safety within the community itself,” said Mayor Gary McNamara. “We are excited for residents to utilize this program to help protect their dog and all pets in the community.”
DocuPets offers a HomeSafe program that alerts the owner if their pet goes missing.
“We are very excited to kick off this effective program with the Town of Tecumseh to increase pet identification and reunification services for all residents,” said Grant Goodwin, DocuPet’s CEO. “Pets wearing DocuPet tags spend little to no time in the shelter versus unlicensed pets.
All dog owners in Tecumseh are required to license their pets yearly. Previously, all licenses expired annually on December 31, but with the new system, licenses will be valid for 365 days from the time of purchase.
Pet owners have until April 30, 2023, to register their pets on the new system.
