Keep Your Galion Pooches Legal: Time to Get That Dog License

Updated for 2018!

This post is for dog owners in Galion, Ohio. You only have about a month left, as of this late December posting, to get your dog licenses.

Dog Licenses to Keep Your Pooches Legal

Any dog that's over three months old is required, by state law, to be licensed - and that licensing period rolls around every winter - with January 31 being the last day to get your dog's tags before the price DOUBLES.

(Paying double makes for one heck of a big late fee - and that's why I wanted to get the info out there now - for anyone who may forget - a month ahead of time.)

Where to Get Your Dog Tags in Galion Ohio

There are several places for Galionites to get your dog licenses - in Galion, Ohio - over the internet or by mail - or by visiting one of the neighboring cities to get them at the locations mentioned below.

1. As a Crawford County Ohio city, Galionites can order dog tags over the internet. 
2. Visit Horizon Animal Hospital at 933 Bucyrus Road, Galion, Ohio 44833 to pick up tags.
3. Make a trip to Bucyrus to pick up tags at the Crawford County Auditor's office or the Crawford County Humane Society.
4. Print out, fill, and mail this form and your payment to the Crawford County Auditor's office. The details are shown on the top of the form. 
5. Visit the Crestline Advocate's office at 312 North Seltzer Street in Crestline, or
6. Go to the New Washington Herald's office at 625 South Kibler Street in New Washington. 

Why Dog Licenses Are So Important

If your dog gets lost, having a current tag on its collar helps the dog warden get it back to you quicker. 

You might never get your dog back - even if it's found - if you don't have a license for it. If your dog gets lost and you don't have tags for it, you can't prove it's legally yours. 

It can end up costing you a lot more if you don't get tags - there are Municipal Court non-licensure fines you'll have to pay if you get caught with a  dog that isn't licensed. 

So, while it may be inconvenient to buy dog tags, the heartache and expense it saves you later makes it worth paying that 16 bucks (per dog license) now - before January 31st - when the price doubles.

A Stroll Down Memory Lane in Galion, Ohio

I was so excited to see a video clip of one of my favorite Galion, Ohio venues - Memory Lane - on the news this morning. I love the way Memory Lane combines automotive history, classic cars and pretty much everything I remember from growing up as a kid in the sixties. Check out the video clip below and be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments.


Memory Lane is right on the main street (Harding Way) in Galion, a little over half a block off the square. The museum is fun to visit and... well... to borrow from its name... a great way to take a stroll down Memory Lane.

Review by: Ré If the video disappears agian, let me know and I'll try to fix it. It's disappeared three times so far.

Review of Oreo Bites from Galion Arby's

A stop at Galion Arby's today is the inspiration for this review of Oreo Bites. Oreo Bites are a new product at Arby's, and they're only here for a limited time.

Oreo Bites From Galion Arby's

My Review of Oreo Bites Picked Up at Galion Arby's

The convenience of going through the drive through won out over taking a seat in the dining area, but I pulled over right after I got the food to get pictures while it was fresh and hot.

The Oreo Bites weren't quite what I expected. The flavor was exceptional, rich and chocolatey. But, they were pretty dry. Just like Oreo cookies, these babies would be best with a  glass of cold milk or some coffee. There was crème filling in the center, but it was such a small dollop of filling it didn't add much creamy texture to this dessert. So, if I were giving these stars, I would give them a four out of five stars for the flavor, and three out of five stars for texture. Have you tried them? I would love to hear what others think of Arby's Oreo Bites.

The Drive Up Service at Galion Arby's

The guy working at the drive up window was exceptional - efficient and pleasant. He was friendly and seemed happy. The service was quick and everything went smoothly. Kudos to the management on hiring this guy - he was very nice to do business with.

The Curly Fries at Arby's

Since I'm reviewing the Oreo Bites, I might as well go over the rest of the experience, too. The curly fries were hot, as if they had just come out of the fryer - but - they were very dry and didn't taste fresh. Usually, the fries at Arby's are really good, so it was a surprise that they were a bit off today.

The Arby's Classic Roast Beef Sandwich

The sandwich was just about as close to perfect as any roast beef sandwich I've ever had. The bun was lightly toasted. The meat was tender and juicy. I didn't bite into any gristle or rubbery spots. The sandwich had a buttery flavor, which complemented everything nicely.

All in all, my stop at Galion Arby's was positive, and my review of Oreo Bites is one of the better parts of the meal, though the roast beef sandwich was, in my humble opinion, the clear winner for flavor and texture.
