Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire.
January 31 is the deadline to purchase your dog license. Every dog over three months must have a dog license. Outside dogs, inside dogs, outside-inside dogs - all dogs. There are no exceptions.
Dr. Smith reminded his clients the importance of a dog license. He emphasized that purchasing a dog license is the law and that the license is designed to protect both the dog and the dog owner.
Living in the country, we have a lot of stray dogs. If a dog has a license or identification tag, I know it belongs to a neighbor (however, there is a strict Ohio Leash Law that prohibits dogs from roaming and without supervision). Many believe that if they have an inside dog they do not need a dog license, which is false. A license is designed to protect your dog. If lost, a dog with a license can be traced by the county Auditor's Office and they can identify the dog owner.
Where do the proceeds from the dog license program go? According to the Athens County Auditor's Office, funds go directly to the Athens County Dog Shelter to support the shelter. This is the case in counties all across the United States. Usually, proceeds from dog license programs are the sole support of dog shelters.
