New Online Animal Licensing Program

The Village of Waunakee will be using a brand new online animal licensing program, PetData. The Village chose to privatize animal licensing beginning in 2014 to promote animal licensing, to increase the cost-effectiveness of the program, and to provide additional services to its citizens. The Village will no longer be issuing animal licenses at any of their locations. Please feel free to visit the Village of Waunakee website for further information:

Village of Waunakee PetData, Inc. Animal Licensing Information

Licensing your animals is easy and can now be completed from the comforts of your own home! Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis. A license is required for all dogs and cats over 5 months of age. Proof of rabies vaccination from your veterinarian stating the manufacturer name, serial number of the vaccine, expiration date of the vaccination, and spay/neuter information must be provided to PetData before a license can be issued by mail to you.

Safety Tips for Running/Walking in the Dark!

If you're running in the early morning or at night, even at dusk, wear white, yellow, or orange clothes. Also, make sure you have reflective gear on. Although some items (running shoes, jackets) already have reflective pieces on them, it doesn't hurt to add more. A headlamp or flashlight is also a great item for runners who do a lot of early morning or evening running.

Choose a well-lit route
It might not be your favorite route to run, but the most well-lit route is your safest choice. Oncoming cars see you better, and you'll always be able to see the road and avoid potential hazards.

Always run against traffic
It's easier to avoid cars if you can see them coming. Avoid busy roads and those with no shoulders or sidewalks.

Run with a Buddy
There's strength and safety in numbers. If possible, try to never run alone. If you're running alone, let someone know the route you're running and approximately how long you will be out.

Carry a cell phone
You'll be able to contact police immediately if something happens to you or you notice anything out of the ordinary.

Vary your routes and times
Potential attackers can study runners' routines and loom in a particularly dark or isolated area. Don't make yourself an easy target.
