Dog licenses overdue
HARRISBURG - State
Agriculture Secretary Penrose
Hallowell is reminding Penn
sylvania dog owners that 1984 dog
licenses are now overdue. He
urged owners to purchase a new
1984 license for their pets.
Under the Pennsylvania Dog
Law, all dogs six months of age or
older must be licensed on or before
January 1 of each year. The
Department’s Bureau of Dog Law
Enforcement is responsible for the
enforcement of the Act.
Hallowell expressed his concern
that so many Pennsylvanians
neglect to buy licenses for their
dogs. “Last year, less than one
million of the state’s estimated 2.5
million dogs were licensed.
“Licenses are not expensive,” he
215-593-2407
Donald C. Snyder
added, “and can save a lot of
heartache for the responsible pet
owner.” A license identifies the
dog owner making it easy for state
dog wardens, local animal control
officers or police to return lost or
stray dogs.
Licenses cost $3.00 for spayed
female and neutered male dogs,
and $5.00 for productive animals.
Senior citizens 65 years of age or
older may purchase licenses for
their dogs at a reduced rate. Senior
citizen’s licenses cost $1.75 for
spayed female and neutered males
and $2.75 for productive dogs.
Dog licenses are still available
and may be purchased from the
County Treasurer at the Cour
thouse or from an authorized
agent.
