Dog wardens will canvass homes in Chester County the week of June 8 to ensure all dog owners have current licenses and rabies vaccinations for their dogs, a county press release said.
The state Department of Agriculture reminds dog owners that a license is one of the best ways to ensure that a lost dog is returned home safely.
Under Pennsylvania law, all dogs three months or older, must be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year. The fee is $6.50 for each spayed or neutered dog and $8.50 for other dogs. Older adults and persons with disabilities may purchase a license for $4.50 for spayed or neutered dogs and $6.50 for others, according to the release.
Additionally, all dogs and non-feral cats (three months of age and older) must be vaccinated against rabies. Booster vaccinations must be administered periodically to maintain lifelong immunity.
Violators can be cited with a maximum fine of $300 per violation plus court costs.
Licenses may be purchased through Chester County Treasurer Ann Duke at 313 W. Market St., Suite 3202, West Chester, or by calling 610-344-6370. Individuals can also visit www.padoglicense.com to locate an agent.
