Hello All,
 
Just a friendly reminder that June is Dog Licensing Month!  All dog licenses must be renewed by June 30, 2012 and can be either mailed with a current rabies certificate to Town Clerk, 50 South Main Street, West Hartford, CT 06107 or renewed in person during the West Hartford Town Clerk's business hours.
 
For more information, please visit:
 
 
Also, this year the West Hartford Dog Park Coalition is happy to be co-sponsoring the West Hartford Patch's Top Dog Contest!  Once you have licensed your dog with the Town Clerk's office upload your favorite photo of your dog to this article (it’s super easy – just make sure you are a registered user first):
 
In the caption, please provide your dog’s name and what makes him or her so special. One photo per owner.
Between June 1 and June 14, Patch users will vote in the comments on which dog is West Hartford’s Top Dog.  On June 15, we will announce the winner of the West Hartford Patch Top Dog contest.  You can then go to the town clerk’s office and collect the number 1 dog tag for your pet to proudly wear all year (you will receive an email confirmation from Patch – bring that with you to the office).  West Hartford's "Top Dog" will also receive a plush dog bed, leash, food dish, and toys from Pet Supplies Plus, and a $200 gift certificate for a photo session from Paulette Mertes Studios, will be presented to the owner of the winning dog.
The winners of the local contests will then move on to a regional competition. The voting for that level runs from June 15-22, and again, will take place in the comments section of that article (which will be posted on June 15).  On June 23, the 4 regional winners will be unveiled, and they will face off to become Connecticut Patch’s Top Dog from June 23-30. The winner will be announced July 1.
Good luck with the voting and a huge thank you to Pet Supplies Plus and Paulette Mertes Studios for the generous donations!
