HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Ottawa County residents are invited to enter their dog in a pet photo contest for a chance to be named “Top Dog” by the Treasurer’s Office.
The top five vote getters, a staff pick and a random entry will all receive gift cards and prizes long with bragging rights. Entries will be accepted on April 11 online. Voting will open on May 1st and continue through the 15th. Winners are announced May 15, 2016. There is no fee to enter the contest but there are some rules and entries must be photos of Ottawa County licensed dogs. If your dog is unlicensed or has an expired license, you can order your license online.
According to Ottawa County Treasurer Brad Slaugh, Michigan law requires that all dogs have a valid rabies shot issued by a veterinarian and a current county license. Prices for animal licenses are as follows:
- Male/Female one year: $25
- Spayed/Neutered one Year: $10
- Male/Female three year: $70
- Spayed/Neutered three Year: $25
- Puppy 4-7 months of age: $10
- Service Dogs: No Charge
Dog licenses can also be purchased in person at the Ottawa County Treasurer’s office, city halls and many township halls.
The fees collected from the dog licensing help to support Harbor Humane Society, who serves as the County’s animal shelter, and Ottawa County Animal Control Officers.
