FAAS has partnered with DocuPet to provide an enhanced pet licensing experience for City of Alameda residents.
Beginning July 7, 2026, this new, easy-to-use online licensing service provides a quick and easy way to purchase a new pet license or renew an existing pet license. Just click on this link, which will take you to our DocuPet website: https://alamedaanimalshelter.docupet.com/en_US/
Our new licensing process with DocuPet allows Alameda residents to select a free standard license tag or upgrade to one of DocuPet’s colorful designer tag styles for an additional fee.
Each DocuPet tag, standard or designer, doubles as your pet’s official City of Alameda license and includes the HomeSafe™ 24/7 Lost Pet Service, making it easy for finders to contact the 24/7 dispatch team for quick reunions.
To license your pet, you must have:
- Current rabies vaccination certificate
- Proof of spay/neuter, if you are applying for the spayed/neutered license rate
