Got out the other day for a while and found a 1949 Mena dog tax tag......got a few others I found over the years.....got one that is 1905...never seen anything like them around here......

Never found a dog "tax" tag. Have found a few rabies vaccination tags and hunting dog tags but no "tax" tag. Were people actually taxed at one time for owning dog(s)? My best dog tag is a 1954 rabies vaccination. It is some type of aluminum and still had almost all of the red paint on it as well. Would have been close to mint if not struck and bent by a plow. The reason I really like the tag is that it is from an old lone gone homesite where my dad lived with my grandparents as a child. Its very likely from one of his dogs.

Yes here in Mena they charge you I think about $2.00 or $2.50 per year per dog.....just if you live in the city limits....country dogs dont get taxed.....gotta have a rabies tag too......I have one from Mena that is dated 1905...earliest Mena tag I have ever seen.....no one else has one that old that I know of......see ya later.....
