Animal Services Provides for the care and control of animals in the Louisville Metro area, including pet licensing and pet adoption. Louisville pets owners must license all dogs, cats and ferrets with LMAS. Pet licensing is a requirement of the Louisville Animal Ordinance. You can purchase a renewable pet license in one-year or three-year increments. Owners must show proof your pet's Rabies vaccination is up-to-date, to obtain a pet license. Being reunited with your pet is just a phone call away: 365 days a year, employees are on duty to help with the process.  For those who find a lost licensed pet, it's your assurance that the pet has its updated rabies shots.  If Animal Services finds your lost pet, we will escort it home.Data Dictionary:Field NameField Descriptionanimal idUnique identifying number assigned to each specific animaltag numberUnique identifying number assigned to each individual tagtag typeThe type of tag or permit purchasedLIC 3Y3yr spayed/neutered licenseLIC 3YSR3yr senior spayed/neutered licenseLIC ALTERED1 year spayed/neutered licenseLIC ASST1 year assistance animal licenseLIC DD1year dangerous dog licenseLIC MULTIPLE1 year discounted license when they license more than 3 animalsLIC PDD1 year potentially dangerous dog licenseLIC SR1 year senior altered licenseLIC UNALTERED1 year non spayed or neutered licensePER ADVAnimal Drawn Vehicle permitPER BOARDINGBoarding permitPER CIRCUSCircus permitPER CIRCUS ELElephant Ride permitPER CLASS AClass A kennel licensePER HSAnimal Welfare Group permitPER PS NOSELLPet Shop not selling dogs, cats or ferrets permitPER PS SELLPet shop selling dogs, cats or ferrets permitPER STABLEStable permitPER SWINESwine permitRAB VAC CERTRabies vaccination tagRABIES CERTRabies vaccination tagtag dateThe date the tag was issued to the ownertag expireThe date that the tag expirestag statusThe status of the tag or permitCURRENTTag is currentDEADPet is deceasedDUPLICATEOwner lost the tag and it is replacedEXPIREDTag is expiredGAVE AWAYOwner gave pet away to new owner and did not transfer tagLOSTOwner no longer has the petMOVEDOwner no longer lives in Jefferson CountyMOVED JEFFOwner no longer lives in Jefferson CountyNO REASONDid not give a reasonNOT MY PETOwner no longer has the petNOT OWNEROwner no longer has the petRENEWEDNew license has been issuedREPLACEDOwner lost the tag and it is replacedRETUR MAILOwners moved and the tag is undeliverableREVOKEDTag or permit taken away due to violationsTEMPORARYIssued to a person until requirements are metTURN INOwner no longer has the petUNKNOWNDid not give a reasonvax dateThe date the animal was given a rabies vaccinationvax expireThe date the rabies vaccination expirescitylocation information associated with the owner of the animals addressstatezip codeanimal typeType of animal associated with the tagsexThe sex of the animalMmaleFfemaleNneuteredSspayedUunknownpet dobThe date of birth of the animalbitesDoes the animal have a bite reported to MAS?
