Dog Licensing Information

About Licensing
Dog licensing ensures rabies vaccination, which protects the health of your pet. Residents should also know that by licensing their dog they are directly fighting animal cruelty and abuse. Most people do not realize that up to 90% of their dog license fees go directly to the Maine Animal Welfare Program. Dog license fees account for 95% of the State Animal Welfare Program’s entire funding and, without these fees, the state would be unable to protect the animals of this state.

All dogs six months and older must have a license. If you become the owner of a dog six months or older, the dog must be licensed by January of each year. In order to obtain a license for your dog, the owner must present a current State of Maine Rabies Certificate obtained from a veterinarian. This certificate will verify that your dog has received its rabies shot within the past two years.


How to Obtain a License

In person: 

Visit the Town Office during our regular business hours, which are Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Bring a current State of Maine rabies certificate and (if the dog is “fixed”) proof of spaying/neutering.

Dogs relicensed after January 31st will be charged a minimum late fee of $75, per state law and the Town’s animal control ordinance.


Dog Licensing Fees

  • $6 per year for spayed / neutered dogs
  • $11 per year for dogs not spayed / neutered
  • Any dog license that is relicensed after January 31 will be subject to a minimum $75 late fee, per state law and the Town’s animal control ordinance.
