Dog Licensing

Licensing Your Dog

Pitkin County has partnered with DocuPet to provide an enhanced pet licensing experience for residents in Snowmass Village. Your pet’s license now includes DocuPet’s free HomeSafe™ 24/7 lost pet service and designer license tags with personalization options. Additionally, 20% of every designer tag purchase is donated to Aspen Animal Shelter through DocuPet’s Safe&Happy Fund. 

When you register your pet with Pitkin County, you will receive a unique license tag to attach to their collar. Our new licensing process with DocuPet allows residents to select a standard license tag at no additional charge or upgrade to one of DocuPet’s colorful designer tag styles for an additional fee.

Each DocuPet tag, standard or designer, doubles as a pet’s official license and comes equipped with the HomeSafe™ 24/7 lost pet service, which relies on a dedicated full-time dispatch staff and linked pet profiles to help get lost pets home quickly. Licenses may be purchased online by visiting pitkincounty.docupet.com
