Multi-year license options are now available if your dog's rabies vaccination expires in 2027 or later. A license cannot be issued beyond the year of the rabies vaccination expiration.

Note that all license tags issued in 2026 are printed with an expiration date of 12/31/26, but the license may be valid for a longer period. Please retain the receipt sent with your tag as the record of the expiration date.

Lost Pets

If an Animal Control Officer finds your pet, and your pet is wearing a current license tag on its collar, Animal Control will contact you. If another resident finds your pet with its license tag, they may call the phone number on the license tag and you will be put in touch with the person who found the pet.

If your pet has been lost, Animal Control recommends that you visit the shelter to look for your pet at least every other day. Sheltering of strays for Prince William County is provided by the Prince William County Animal Shelter. You may also contact Animal Control at 703-792-6500 regarding your pet.
