Dog license
Orrville Public Library is once again a satellite location to purchase a 2022 Wayne County dog license. The cost of the annual license is $16, and the library will accept cash and checks. Bring your renewal form with you. All dogs over the age of 3 months and that’ve been owned for more than 30 days are required to have a license.
If your dog becomes lost, their license can make all the difference in returning them to you. With a license on their collar, your dog can be held for up to 14 days while the dog warden tries to contact you. According to state law, a dog without a license can only be held for three days.
Tags can be purchased during regular library hours and will be available until Jan. 31.
