Licensing Requirements
All dogs four (4) months of age or older must be licensed in Tehama County. Licensing is required by City & County Code, as well as CA State Law. Licensing is proof your dog is vaccinated against rabies, and assists with identifying lost dogs. If you chose not to spay or neuter your dog prior to four months of age, you still must license your dog to be in compliance.

| Service Dog Designations |
|
The Assistance Dog designation (also known as a service dog) in Tehama is in compliance with the US Department of Justice’s definition of Service Animals. The County defines an Assistance Dog as any dog individually trained to do work or perform tasks to meet requirements of a physically disabled person. Assistance Dogs are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Please note that dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the American Disability Act (ADA), and Tehama County therefore does not designate or recognize these animals as such. The Assistance Dog Verification can be obtained at the Tehama County Animal Care Center, 1830 Walnut St, Red Bluff, CA 96080.
