What’s New

miDogLicense v 3.0

Owner & Dog Profiles

• Admin Search - Search for owners by microchip ID
• Merging Dogs - Duplicate dog records can now be merged under one owner.

• Owner Merge Usability Improvement - Owner merge now has a clearer UI with instructions to merge.

Reports & Data Export

Orders & Licensing

• License Formatting - Additional settings for license and renewal notice formatting.
• License Expiration Year Flexibility - Expiration year dropdown now shows next four years rather than dependent on license type selected. Allows for more flexibility.

Other Improvements

• Usability Improvements - Overall enhancements to design and user experience.
• Kennel Licensing - User-friendly way for the County to manage and sell packs of tags for kennels.
• Standalone Donation Orders - Residents can now make donations to your animal shelter online without purchasing a dog license (if enabled).
