Dog licenses due in July in Adair County; be good to your pets

About Animal Care and Owner Responsibilities: Animals are not toys, if you can not afford to give a cat or dog a good home don't get one! Cute little puppies and kittens grow up to be adult dogs and cats. if you are going to get a pet, do your research on the breed. Be ready to take on the responsibility. And remember, a dog license is a requirement and part of taking care of your Animal. If I am correct in the County of Adair you pay $10 per dog, or $25 for 3 or more, yearly - 7/1/2018 to 7/1/2019. Let’s get this done!
