COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A 6-year-old neutered male Anatolian Shepherd mix named Hyler is looking for a home.

He is a sweet boy who rides well in the car.

Hyler had a microchip and tags when he was brought to the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR), but the owner's contact information was not updated.

The shelter was unable to get in touch with them, and now the dog is hoping another family will adopt him.

Adoption fee is only $43 thanks to a kind donor.

The humane society is providing the following information about licensing laws to pet owners:

* City and county ordinances require that all dogs be inoculated against rabies.

* Dogs that reside in the county's designated dog control areas must also be licensed within 30 days after the dog becomes 4 months old.

* Animals are required to wear their issued tags at all times.

* Licenses for residents of Colorado Springs and El Paso County may be obtained from the humane society.

* A current rabies certificate must be presented to obtain a license and discounts are offered to spayed or neutered animals.

* The license is valid one or three years from date of issue and is not transferable.

* Please notify the humane society of any change in ownership or address, or in the event of your pet's death.
