Notice on dog registration in Madison Heights
MADISON HEIGHTS — Oakland County currently registers all dogs in Madison Heights. Registrations are for the calendar year, for either a one-year or three-year period, depending on the length of the pet’s rabies vaccination.
Registration can be done online at oakgov.com/petadoption, or in-person at the county animal shelter, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Building 42E, in Pontiac. Those with unexpired dog licenses don’t need to register until it expires and the rabies vaccination certificate has been updated.
The Madison Heights City Clerk’s Office will accept dog license applications beginning in December and running until June 1, 2024, after which residents will again have to register through Oakland County. If a household has a resident age 65 or older, the home is eligible for a discount on the pet registration.
