Dog Wardens to Conduct License, Rabies Compliance Checks in Pennsylvania Counties

Dog Wardens to Conduct License, Rabies Compliance Checks in Pennsylvania Counties

Details – During the month of June, dog wardens will canvass homes throughout the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s region one jurisdiction in Elk and Mercer counties, ensuring all dog owners have current licenses and rabies vaccinations for their dogs.

Counties include: Mercer County; the weeks of May 30, June 13 and June 20 Elk County; the week of June 13

The Department of Agriculture reminds dog owners that a license is one of the best ways to be reunited with your dog if you were to become separated.

Under Pennsylvania law, all dogs three months or older must be licensed by January 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.

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 your County Treasurer, by calling your county courthouse, or from a registered issuing agent.
