June is dog license renewal month in Town Clerks' offices throughout the state, and the West Hartford Town Clerk’s Office mailed postcard reminders to over 3,000 dog owners, urging owners to make their pets “legal.”
State law requires all dogs over 6 months of age must be registered and receive a dog tag annually. The numbered tag serves as identification for any pet that may wander away from home. The annual cost for dog licenses is $19.00 for unaltered animals and $8.00 for neutered or spayed animals.
In addition, all dogs must be vaccinated against rabies and a certificate from the veterinarian must be presented in order to purchase a license. If a pet is being licensed for the first time and has been altered, a certificate from the vet again must be presented.
This year, the West Hartford Dog Park Coalition has a donation jar in the town clerk's office. While you're renewing your license, we'd love it if you would throw a few bucks in the donation jar to help kick off our fundraising efforts! With 3,000 licensed dogs in West Hartford, we only need to raise $20 per dog to fully fund the building of the dog park.
