Dog owners reminded of licensing

June is Dog Licensing Month, and residents who own dogs at least 6 months old must renew their licenses by June 30 or face a $1 monthly fine, City Clerk John W. Lewis said.

State law requires dog owners to submit a current rabies vaccination certificate when applying for the new dog tags. Expired certificates are not accepted.

The fee for the two licenses, which are available in the city clerk’s office of City Hall, 355 Main St., is $8 for neutered or spayed dogs and $19 for other dogs.

Residents can also send vaccination records and checks in a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Office of the City Clerk, 355 Main St., West Haven 06516. For dogs that have last year’s tag number, license renewals are available online: https://searchiqs.com/iqsdogrenewal/?CC=CTWHA.
