Pursuant to Article 7 of the Agriculture and Market Law, no person shall own or harbor a dog within the Town of Washington unless such dog is licensed. Such license shall be renewed annually at fees determined by the Town Board of the Town of Washington.  The license is most important if your dog is missing from your property or picked up by a dog control officer. The tag enables us to match the dog and the owner.

• All dogs over the age of four months shall require a license.
• A Veterinarian certificate showing current rabies information is required.
• A certificate of spay or neutering must be presented to be eligible for the reduced licensing fee.
