Each dog shall have a current rabies vaccination as evidenced by a valid rabies certificate issued by the veterinarian who performed the vaccination as a requisite to licensing. Provided further that rabies vaccination certificate shall not be required if the license is obtained at the time the dog is vaccinated at a County or City low-cost clinic.
(b) While a dog is being used as a guard dog within the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County, it must have a San Bernardino County dog license and the license tag must be securely fixed to the dog’s collar regardless of where the owner resides and whether a license has been obtained for that jurisdiction.
