Blogger's Note: Below is a press release received from the Montgomery County Treasurer's Office. Not only is it timely, it also gives me an excuse to post cute pictures of puppies!
Pennsylvania State Law requires an annual dog license be obtained for all dogs three months or older.

| "Don't I deserve a license?" |
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s Office of Dog Law Enforcement strictly enforce all aspects of dog licensing, kennel operation and dog control facilities.
Owners of unlicensed dogs can be charged with fines as high as $300.
As the agent for dog licensing in Montgomery County, The Treasurer’s Office provides a variety of ways for residents to obtain their licenses, the most popular of which is a website that allows dog owners to apply, print and pay for their 2013 dog licenses online.

The website provides for payment by credit card or online check.
The Montgomery County Treasurer’s Office will mail your dog tag out to you within three days of receiving your application and payment via the internet.

The cost for an annual license is $6.45.

If you choose to pay via the internet, a small convenience fee of $2.00 per license is applicable.
You may also mail your application with your check to the Montgomery County Treasurer’s Office-Licensing, P.O. Box 311, Norristown, PA 19404-311.
In addition, dog licenses can be obtained by visiting the County Treasurer’s Office at One Montgomery Plaza at the corner of Swede and Airy Streets in Norristown.

This is an absolutely shameless ploy to generate more blog traffic. Next thing you'll be writing about kitten registrations. Or alpacas. And you call yourself a journalist. Bah. Humbug.
ReplyDeleteGreat excuse to post puppy photos AND call attention to a necessary licensing process ... I think you may just be coming around from your cat days.
ReplyDeleteCheck it: You can actually SEE Louie's dog license in his vacation photo. How apropos! I'll have to tell him .. and his agents ... that you included him in your post.
