All dogs in the county must be licensed.

  1. Only dogs over 50 pounds
  2. All dogs ✔
  3. Only dogs that leave the yard

Why: Licensing is a local rule, so it differs by place. LA County requires every dog to be licensed, and you need proof of rabies vaccination to get a license.

Huh, didn't know that: Chicago requires dogs four months and older to be registered, and the dog must have a current rabies vaccination.
