2020 Dog Licensing Season
The dog licensing season was kicked off in grand fashion at the courthouse last week, when the first dog tag of 2020 was issued to a special “celebrity” canine. Mia, an 8-year old Standard Poodle, escorted by her owner Barbara Wright, received tag #1 at the Auditor’s office.
Mia is involved in the “PADs (Parkinson’s Alert Dogs) for Parkinson’s” program. Mia and her canine colleagues at the PADs center are trained to sniff out the distinct scent of a person afflicted with Parkinson’s disease. The scent can potentially be detected several years before the devastating symptoms begin to take effect with these patients.All dogs in San Juan County are required to be licensed annually. If you live on San Juan Island, get your tag at the Auditor’s office, Friday Harbor Animal Protection Society, or Harbor Veterinary Services. Orcas Island residents can get a tag at Pawki’s pet store, Eastsound Kennels, or the Orcas Island Animal Protection Society. Lopez dogs can visit Sunset Building Supply, the Lopez Animal Protection Society, or Ark Veterinary Clinic.
