Application for Kennel License
The reason for getting your dog a license is that if the dog is injured or lost you can be contacted quickly. Both the Dog Officer and the police have current dog lists which help them contact owners in the event of a problem. The license also shows that the dog has had it rabies shot. This is for the benefit of the dog officer when he is handling a lost or injured dog.
