Dog License

What would you do if you lost your dog?


You might place an ad in the newspaper; you might distribute a flier in the
neighborhood. But one of the most effective means to insure the return of a lost
dog is to make certain the pet has a license.


Not only is it a good idea, it’s the law.


Pennsylvanians who have failed to purchase yearly licenses with the application
above for dogs 3 months of age or older are violating state law and could be
fined up to $300.00 for each un-licensed dog.


Mr. Parrish and his colleagues in other counties will canvas Washington County
municipalities during certain months each year. Wardens will prosecute the
owners of dogs who have not been licensed.


While conducting their license canvases, State wardens also will check to see
that all dogs and house cats 3 months of age or older have been vaccinated
against rabies. Violations of the state’s rabies law can bring a fine of up to
$300.00 a day.


Get a license for your pet. It could prove to be its best friend.
