(A) Upon the payment of the license fee required by § 90.10, the Wilmington Township Trustee shall issue to the owner a license certificate and a metallic tag for each dog licensed. The tag shall have stamped thereon the year it was issued and the number corresponding with the number on the certificate. Every owner shall provide each dog with a collar to which the license tag shall be affixed and shall see that the collar and tag are constantly worn. In case a dog tag is lost or destroyed, a duplicate will be issued by the Township Trustee upon presentation of a receipt showing the payment of the license fee for the current year and the payment of a fee for the duplicate. Dog tags shall not be transferable from one dog to another, and no refunds shall be made on any dog license because of the death of the dog or the owner leaving the city before expiration of the license period.
(B) No person shall remove either the collar or the check from any dog or any similar animal except on consent or order of the owner or person to whom the license has been issued. No person harboring a dog shall refuse, upon request, to exhibit the dog's license and proof of vaccination for rabies to the Humane Officer, any officer of the Police Department of the city, any employee of the DeKalb Animal Shelter, any employee of the DeKalb Humane Society, or to any other person having legal authority to inquire into the matter.
