Domestic Animal Services

Collier County Animal Control Ordinance Chapter 14, Article II Sec. 14-33 requires that the owner of any dog(s) and/or cat(s) over four months obtain a Collier County license and a current rabies vaccination (administered by a licensed vet). Proof of a current rabies vaccination is required to purchase a Collier County License.

How to Purchase a License Online or In-Person?

If you would like to purchase a license for your dog or cat online, please visit PetData.

To purchase a license for your pet in-person please have proof of current rabies vaccination and visit or call Collier County Domestic Animal Services at 7610 Davis Blvd. We are open daily 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Wednesday by appointment).

Licensing your dog or cat gives Domestic Animal Services and the Collier County Health Department the ability to ensure that domestic pets are vaccinated against Rabies to prevent the spread of the deadly virus. A dog/cat license also provides owner information immediately, should your pet arrive at the shelter wearing its current license.

Additionally, licensing your pet you can actually save money, should your pet become lost and end up at our facility! If you claim your currently licensed and sterilized pet by the end of the legal stray hold, your pet can go home without you having to pay impound and board fees; this is available for one impoundment only. Other fees, such as microchipping or sterilization, may still be sustained.

Your pet's current license replaces the need to pre-register for the Pet Friendly Shelter. Admission to the shelter is on a first-come, first serve basis for Collier County residents. Only cats and dogs are accepted at this time.

Cost

Domestic Animal Services offers one-year or three-year Rabies/License Tags that coincide with your rabies vaccinations.

RETURN TO HOME (RTH) COMMUNITY CATS SPAY AND NEUTER

DAS continues to provide spay and neuter services for community cats through our Return-to-Home (RTH) program. To improve efficiency and reduce turnaround times, community cat drop-offs are currently focused on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

No appointment is required for this program. Cats must be picked up within 24 hours of drop-off. This process is intended to reduce unnecessary length of stay while continuing to support positive outcomes for community cats in our care.
