Annual Auditor’s Office Dog License Coloring Contest Released
Jefferson- Ashtabula County Auditor Scott Yamamoto is holding the annual coloring contest for area children and residents with developmental disabilities to promote dog licensing. Participants can get their coloring sheet by visiting the Auditor’s website or contacting their office.
“The office and public alike love to see the artwork while highlighting the importance of dog licenses,” shared Auditor Yamamoto.
The goal of the coloring contests and other outreach for dog licenses has been to promote and educate on the need for licensing dogs in Ashtabula County.
We've enjoyed involving kids and our developmentally challenged families in helping to educate the public on licenses,” explained Auditor Yamamoto.
The contest is open until December 19th by returning the finished artwork to the Auditor’s Office. These colorings will be displayed in the Courthouse through December as a reminder of the importance of getting pets licensed. First, Second, and Third-place winners will receive coloring kits.
The regular Dog License season runs through January 31st. After this period, new dog owners can still purchase a license for $12. Pet owners who are renewing late must pay a late fee of $12 plus the license cost.
Those with questions are encouraged to call 440-576-2783 or visit the Auditor’s website under Licensing for locations and applications. All dogs three months old or older must register or renew their license each year between December 1 and January 31. Licenses alert the Dog Warden of official ownership and the owner’s contact information if a dog becomes lost or a concern arises. These fees help with shelter costs and Dog Warden funds.
