Dog Tag Poster Contest

The Dog Tag Poster Contest was created by Philip Baxter, Van Wert County Auditor, to help promote community awareness of dog licensing. One of the responsibilities of the auditor is to license all dogs in the county. We licensed nearly 5,200 dogs for 2019. Purchasing a tag for your dog is required by the State of Ohio the tag has a number on it that identifies you as the owner should the dog get lost or separated from you.
