Town of Halton Hills Partners with DocuPet & Upper Credit Humane Society
Halton Hills has officially partnered with DocuPet to manage dog licensing. Under the Town's Responsible Pet Owner's By-law, licensing your dog is a mandatory step towards responsible pet ownership. Dog licences serve as vital identification, helping to reunite lost pets with their families and prevent them from entering shelters. Twenty per cent of sales from custom tags is donated to support the Safe and Happy Fund, benefiting the Upper Credit Humane Society (UCHS). UCHS is dedicated to promoting the humane care of animals through protection, education, and advocacy while encouraging responsible pet ownership.
