Ask your local veterinary office. Even the receptionist should know.

In Florida, when the vet inoculates the dog and gives you a copy of the rabies certificate, he/she is usually able to issue a license tag. Most vets charge separately for the rabies shot and the license fee--so you have to pay both.

If your vet is the rare one who doesn't have the county license tags on hand, he/she has to provide you with a copy of the rabies certificate so you can send--or take-- a photocopy to the county along with the licensing fee ASAP after the shots are given to get your dog ( or cat's!) tag.

Where to get them varies by county. From your signature, looks like you're in Broward. Google "Broward Animal Care". It'll take you to Broward's shelter facilities homepage, which has loads of links to licensing info.

There are one-year tags to correlate to one-year rabies vaccine; three-year tags that go with three-year vaccine and a "no vaccination" tag given to dogs who are on medications that interfere with or are too ill to be given rabies vaccine. Those "no vaccination" tags must be replaced with a regular one or three-year as soon as the dog is healthy enough for vaccination.

That's a question you should ask your local city and/or county office.

Your vet would know as well. In New York we can titer for everything but rabies.

Unfortunately, Florida does not allow the results of a positive titer test to substitute for rabies. I wish they did. www.floridahealth.gov/.../rabies-animal-management.pdf
