We would like to remind all pet owners in the region that dog tags for 2019 are on sale now.

In addition to being necessary for pets, the sales of these tags help to fund the county’s dog shelter, which operates as a no-kill facility for both dogs and cats.

These tags will be available through the end of January through the following locations:

Lawrence County Auditor’s Office, which is located in the county courthouse; the Lawrence County Dog Shelter, located at 1302 Adams Lane, Ironton; Jim’s Gun Shop, located at 300 Front St., Proctorville; Dickess Market, located at 13629 State Route 141, Kitts Hill; Pine Tree Carryout, located at 9147 State Route 93, Pedro; and South Point Storage, located at 602 Solida Road, South Point.

Tags at the auditor’s office are $12 for the year, and $12.75 at the other locations.
Tags may also be purchased online at the Lawrence County Auditor’s Office website, www.lawrencecountyauditor.org, for $14.

We encourage everyone to comply with the law and to help fund services for animals in the county.
