I just learned recently that dogs and cats must be licensed in Bernalillo County. I had never even heard of pet licensing until recently, so I'm just curious how many others have done this.

Our pet dogs have all been properly licensed, but we live in Sandoval County...

I don't know about Bernalillo County but this has been a City of Albuquerque requirement for many years. It may have started with the HEART Ordinance of October 2006. An Albuquerque City Councilor, I think from the north valley, sponsored the ordinance. The ordinance limited number of pets, required microchips, etc. and required cats to be confined to your property and subject to a leash law. I purchased the yearly license when I took my cats into the vet for their annual exam and shots. However I did not get the impression that the vets enforced it much - more like "do you want to buy a license or not?" But once you purchased the first license and got into their system, some company in Texas sent you a reminder every year.

I'm not surprised that Bernalillo County now requires a license - their website states this is the case. But I could not find when this requirement started.

I’m in ABQ. I never knew there was licensing until we took the dogs for their first annual since we moved here. Got cards in the mail 5 months later from the city. I think when vets give a rabies shot, it must go in a database somewhere. My dogs (rescues) have chips, but we never activated accounts for the chips. Gonna have to go by the vet and have them scanned so I can re-up with some chip company.

That is what I am going to have to deal with when we move. Plus we have too many pets so I need to apply for a special license. Most of them are chipped but I have also never paid for the accounts to I am going to have to sort them all out too. At least they are all fixed and vaccinated.
