To encourage residents to keep their pet licenses current and in compliance with the City's pet licensing program, Animal Care Services has implemented a one-time amnesty program. The amnesty program is running November 1st thru December 31st, and is a limited-time program where the City is waiving all licensing late-fee penalties for owners of dogs and cats. Besides being required by law, pet licensing in Long Beach comes with many benefits including Fast Track, Free Ride Home, Extended Stay, and Vacation Pet Alert.
