Ada Dog Licensing Drive Triggers Citywide Checkup
City of Ada mounts a broad dog license enforcement drive after a recent announcement. Ninety one licenses were issued Monday, bringing the total to 256 for the new year. A veterinarian vaccinated 52 dogs that busy day, with further pickups of unlicensed or stray dogs Tuesday through Friday. Officials say canvassing will continue, though calls to specific locations interrupt efforts. Health and safety drive the operation as officials stress disposal of unlicensed dogs and compliance. Teams work both together and separately as street conditions allow.
