In an effort to address the rising population of stray and roaming animals, the City of Liberal has adopted new animal control ordinances requiring the annual registration of cats and dogs beginning January 2025. This registration requirement applies to cats and dogs over the age of 6 months living within City limits.
Registration can be completed online at https://liberal-animal-shelter.mybarkpass.com/ or in person at the Liberal Animal Shelter. The registration fee for spayed or neutered animals will be $10, while unaltered animal registration fees cost $25. Upon registration approval, the Liberal Animal Shelter will send a metal tag via mail. This tag must be secured to a collar, harness, or other device worn by the pet at all times when they are outside of their home or enclosed yard or pen
Replacements for lost or damaged tags will be $5 each. After January 31st each year, a $5 late fee will be charged at registration, while an additional fee of $10 will be charged for unregistered pets that are picked up by the shelter.
