Ruff Ruff - It's Time To Register Your Dog
January is the month to register your dog in Maine, and all dogs over the age of 6 months must be licensed by the end of the month for 2009.
The renewal and registration process can be completed online at the Maine Department of Agriculture’s website or by visiting the town hall in your hometown.
When registering you will need:
- A Credit Card (Online)
- Dog License/Tag Number (Renewals Only)
- State of Maine Rabies Certificate
- Veterinarian’s Name and Phone Number
- Spay or Neuter Certificate (If your dog has been “fixed”)
The cost of registration is $7 for dogs who have been spayed or neutered and $12 for those that have not. If you are licensing a wolf hybrid, service or rescue dog, or obtaining a kennel license please contact your municipal office.
Dog licensing fees help support local Animal Control Officers and State Humane Agents, investigations of animal cruelty complaints, care for sick or injured stray animals, and the return of lost dogs to their owner.
