If you live within the county of San Diego, all dogs older than 5 months of age must be licensed. Licenses are provided by the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services. The license itself is a metal tag the attaches to the dog's collar. The county's ordinances state that "whenever a license tag is lost or damaged, the dog owner or custodian shall immediately apply for and obtain a replacement license tag."
Instructions

2. Hold your mouse pointer over the "Rabies Vaccination, Licensing and Microchips" option to see a pop-up window offering several options. Choose "Online Licensing."
