Dog Licensing

The City of Highland has teamed up with DocuPet to launch a innovative dog licensing program, designed to keep pets safe and families connected

Licensing not only ensures compliance with Highland's bylaws - it also protects your pet. Every license comes with

  • A free tag linked to a secure online pet profile with photos, contact information, and care instructions
  • HomeSafe®, a 24/7 lost pet service with live support and real-time lost pet community alerts.
  • A central location for finders to submit a Found Pet Report using the unique ID code on your pet's tag

With these features, lost pets can be identified quickly and reunited with their families faster.

All dogs must be licensed and vaccinated against rabies. Residents can register them online anytime at cityofhighland.docupet.com, purchase a license through mail by sending a completed application, or register via a Kiosk in City Hall.

Residents who require assistance with DocuPet, please reach out to Docupet Support:

They are able to assist with account creation, payments over the phone, mail-in payments, and any system errors
