This tax would be distributed to the shelters and breed rescue groups that have to deal with the problem of pet overpopulation later.

Pennsylvania does have a state dog license program with the fees going directly to a fund to provide animal control and to fund the inspection and regulation of large dog breeders and puppy mills. I think it could be a model for other states.
