Just another way of the city getting into your wallet. I worked for a vet years ago, so these are the things that help get your dog back. 1) The rabies tag your dog has on him/her. I had gotten calls from people who found dogs and I would have the name and number and call the owners. The owners would get the number of the person that found the dog. 2) Chips. Dogs who get spayed or neutered automatically get chipped now. Don't tell me someone may not have access. B.S. You can take them to any vet, and they will scan the dog for free or the shelter or a rescue. I am sure someone that person knows can drive them to any of them if they do not drive. 3) You can also buy tags with your name and number on it. I know of dogs that have all 3 on their collar. Their rabies tag, their microchip number and the person ID tag. If someone wants to steal your dog, all they have to do is remove those tags and LOL even the tag this officer is talking about and of course not having the dog scanned and just keep it. So, sorry officer, but this is B.S. Unless you are willing to search every area of Yakima looking that said dog and go to every home in Yakima searching for that person's dog. If not, then what you are talking about is useless and B.S.

Great idea! Thank you for your service to our community!🇺🇲

A license for a dog!? City desperate for money or what? Hopefully just within city limits

Please be so serious. Yakima is one of the highest rate of abandoned animals. If people aren’t able to afford to house and feed the animals why do you think that the people who do have animals are going to be able to afford yet another cost. Like if having an animal isn’t expensive enough.

😂how much is yakima is charging for this BS

My dog is chipped

Thank goodness you figured out a way to get the pets under control and kept safe. Now we just have to figure out a way to keep the citizens safe from Democrat Senator Sharon Shewmake. She thought it was okay to interfere with a state police misconduct investigation to taint the water and tip the scales to get the cops off. While doing that, she made disparaging and slanderous remarks about the death threat victims who made the complaints while she even outed their anonymous names. These were court protected individuals. Not one person from the party has taken a stand against this. Disgusting abuse of power. Citizens deserve better than this, Washington. Resign Shewmake. Shame on the CJTC for allowing the defaming letter to make it to the investigative file. #FriendsHelpingFriends #IscratchYourBack #Disgusting #YouForgotOneThing #VictimsWillSpeakOut
