License in Person


Due Date

Payment for your registration is due within 30 days of the expiration of your current registration. If you are registering for the first time, you must purchase a registration within 30 days of obtaining a pet over the age of 4 months or within 30 days of moving into the City of Allen.


Licensing Locations

You may register your pet in person at the Allen Animal Shelter at 770 S. Allen Heights Dr, Allen TX. Please bring your pet’s rabies vaccination certificate and spay/neuter certificate (if applicable) with you.


Required Paperwork
  1. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required if the rabies vaccination on file has expired. Please check your certificate for correct address and pet information.
  2. Proof of spay/neuter, such as a signed statement from a veterinarian or an invoice for services is required if the pet has been altered since the last registration period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered registration fee.
  3. Proof of age is required to receive the discounted fees for senior citizens age 55 and over.

Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain the originals of your documents for your records.
