Woof! Woof! It’s Not Too Late For Dog Licenses
By Loverboy, Faithful Dog of AAP Editor, Frank Sinatra
My daddy’s letting me have my own article this month! He wanted me to let you know about dog licenses. I’m a dog. I have a license. I’m kind of an expert.
According to something you humans call a “codebook,” any dog that lives in Pennsauken, is seven months old or older, and has a set of permanent teeth, needs a license. And while it’s a little metal tag that we dogs wear around our collar, it’s a pretty big deal.
Dog licenses aren’t just for keeping track of all the awesome puppies big and small that live in town; they can be used to help find your favorite four-legged friend if they get out of the backyard.
Dog licenses are just $12 for a dog that’s been spayed or neutered, or $15 if your pet is “au naturale.” That’s not too pricey. And the fee doesn’t just go to process the application. A portion goes to Pennsauken’s doggie “trust fund,” which helps pay for things like free vaccination clinics.
It’s still not too late to get a license for your dog. In fact, you have until the first Monday of February before you’ll be charged a $10 late fee. So don’t wait! Your furry kid will thank you for it.
