Humane Society of Broward County

Identification!
Make sure that your pet wears current license and ID tags at ALL times. Licensing is done through Broward County Animal Care and Regulation or your veterinarian. ID tags are available from many places that sell pet supplies (the Humane Society has an identification tag machine in the pet boutique). Be sure to keep a written record of the tag numbers; this information is essential in the event that your pet should become lost.

Have your pet tattooed or micro-chipped, to enable positive identification (see your veterinarian about this).

Have a written description (size, weight, color, markings) and current photos of your pet on hand. Be sure to leave this information, along with license and ID tag numbers, with anyone entrusted with the care of your pet while you are away.

Spay or Neuter your pet
Have your companion animal SPAYED or NEUTERED! This safe surgical procedure greatly reduces an animal's urge to roam and makes for a happier "homebody" who won't be tempted to wander into trouble. Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives and can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.

Positive Training
It's never too late to get your dog in training! Trainers consider the command "Come" the most important command to teach your dog. If she associates "come" with a favorite treat or toy, she will likely stop in her tracks and come back to you. Sign up for low-cost classes at the Humane Society of Broward County and learn tricks to keeping your pet safe at home. Call (954) 266-6855 today!
