Village of Ruidoso Updated Pet Ordinance

Have a dog or a cat? The Village of Ruidoso no longer requires licensing for pets. While vaccines are still required, licenses are not. A new Ordinance 2023-02, in effect as of January 10, 2023, to help protect and identify your pet if lost requires that all dogs and cats be microchipped and applies to anyone living within the Village limits who owns or cares for a cat or dog.
