The Department of Agriculture is reminding dog owners to be sure they get a license.<\/p>\n

All dogs three months of age and older are required to be licensed. The fee for an annual dog license is $8.70.\u00a0 Lifetime licenses are available for dogs that have permanent identification such as a microchip or tattoo ($52.70). Discounts are available for qualifying older adults and persons with disabilities (Annual $6.70, Lifetime $36.70).<\/p>\n

Licensing dollars support the work of the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, which inspects Pennsylvania\u2019s kennels and ensures the health and well-being of the dogs that spend their lives there; investigates and prosecutes illegal kennels and bad actors; protects the public by monitoring PA\u2019s dangerous dogs and investigating dog bites; and reunites licensed lost dogs with their families and helps unlicensed lost dogs find shelter.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania dog licenses are available for purchase through Pennsylvania\u2019s county treasurers.
