COLUMBIA, S.C. – Great news for pet owners in Columbia! The city has just rolled out a brand new online portal that makes it super easy for residents to manage their pet licenses. No more long lines or paperwork hassles—now you can take care of everything from the comfort of your couch!
With this new initiative, the City of Columbia is aiming to streamline the process of pet licensing. Officials are really excited about this change, saying it’s designed to be user-friendly. This means whether you’re a tech whiz or someone who sometimes struggles with online forms, you should find the process straightforward.
The city encourages all residents to get on board and ensure their furry friends are properly licensed. Not only is this a responsibility for pet owners, but it also helps the city keep track of pet populations, which can be essential for community planning and safety.
So, what does it cost? Licensing your pet through the new portal will set you back just $5 for spayed or neutered pets, and for those that are intact, it’s $25. These fees help support the city’s animal services and related programs, making it a win-win situation!
Before you get started, there’s a catch: to use the online platform, you need to be a resident of Columbia, living within the city limits. If you’re in Richland County, don’t worry—there’s still a way for you to get your pet registered; just continue to register with the county as you normally would.
If you’re ready to register your pet for the first time or renew an existing license, all you need to do is head over to the city’s pet licensing website. Isn’t that easy? You can just click and go—no need to go anywhere else!
If you find yourself with questions or run into any issues while using the portal, you’re not alone! The city has established a handy contact line where you can reach out to the Animal Services department. They’re available at 803-776-PETS (7387) or you can shoot an email over to CASinfo@columbiasc.gov. They’ll be more than happy to assist you!
Licensing your pet is not just about following the law—it’s also about making sure your beloved pets are recognized and protected in the city. When pets are registered, they’re more easily returned to their homes if they happen to go missing. Additionally, it helps authorities manage pet-related issues within the community, like stray animals or potential health concerns.
Overall, this new online service is a fantastic step towards making life easier for pet owners in Columbia. The city is hopeful that the convenience of the new portal will encourage more residents to take that important step and ensure their pets are licensed.
So, if you’re a proud pet parent or know one, don’t forget to spread the word! Whether it’s a friendly pup or a curious kitty, let’s make sure our furry friends are registered and legally recognized!
