A. A dog license tag shall be delivered to each person who complies with the dog vaccination requirement and pays the license or permit fee required by this chapter. The tag shall be stamped substantially in compliance with the words "Wasco City Dog License," the license number, and the month and year that the tag expires. The tag shall be secured to a collar or harness which shall be worn at all times by the dog for which it is issued except when the dog is in competition, being trained (provided the handler has the license tag in his or her possession), being groomed or confined within a kennel, yard or pen.

B. The animal control officer may delegate the duty to issue licenses and collect fees when he determines such delegation is necessary.

C. Lost License Tag. Whenever, during the period for which it is effective, a dog license tag issued pursuant to this chapter is lost, taken or stolen, the owner of the dog for which the tag was issued may upon payment of five dollars and exhibition of evidence of current rabies vaccination receive a duplicate tag for the remaining portion of the period for which the original dog tag was issued. (Ord. 587, 2009; Ord. 328 §3, 1987).
