Michigan law requires that all dogs four months of age or older be licensed.
A dog license is considered late if your animal is 5 months of age or older and you have owned the dog longer than 30 days. Dog licenses are discounted for senior citizens, and if your dog has been spayed or neutered (See fees here). To qualify for senior prices a person has to be 62 years old at the time of purchase and provide proof of age.
The fees through March 1, 2013 range from $6-26. After March 1, the costs of licenses doubles.

The Kent County Health Department is thrilled to announce the Kent County Animal Shelter (KCAS) met its goal of 300 adoptions in the ASPCA/Rachel Ray $100K Challenge, which was held August 1-October 31, 2012. That’s 174 adoptions more than last year. In all, 674 pets were saved in the three month challenge – 137 more than last year.
The winning shelter will receive $100,000 in prize money. KCAS did not save the most pets in the competition, but the contest helped build awareness about the KCAS and the thousands of animals that come through the doors every year. “This competition brought in dozens of families who had never come to the Kent County Animal Shelter in the past,” said Cathy Raevsky, the Administrative Health Officer of the Kent County Health Department. “Our dedicated staff worked incredibly hard to promote adoptions and return lost pets to their owners over the past three months.”
