PA Department of Agriculture: 2005 Dog Licenses Available Now

ARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary
Dennis Wolff said today that 2005 dog licenses go on sale this week. In 2004, county treasurers and state agents sold licenses for more than 900,000 dogs. "Buying a dog license is essential to the safety of our pets," Wolff said. "If a dog is lost or stolen, a license provides information that can help reunite pets with their owners."

Licenses are required for all dogs more than three months old. If the animal is spayed or neutered, the license is $6. If they are not, the license is $8. Lifetime licenses may be purchased as well. Depending on whether the pet has been spayed or neutered, the price could be either $31 or $51. Senior citizens and persons with disabilities pay a reduced license fee. Dog owners may apply by using one of the following methods:

-- Download the Dog License Application (PDF) form from the Agriculture
site (http://www.agriculture.state.pa.us), print, sign and mail it
along with a check or money order to your county treasurer.
-- Visit your county treasurer's office to file an application.
-- Ask your county treasurer's office for a list of agents who sell
licenses throughout the state.

Dog licensing is one of the many programs administered by the state Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement. A list of county treasurers and a downloadable license application is available at http://www.agriculture.state.pa.us/agriculture/cwp/view.asp?a=3&q=126612.
