Woof! Woof! It’s Not Too Late For Dog Licenses

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.
