Dog Licenses

A license is required for all dogs over the age of 3 months in Little Canada.  A license is not required for cats. However, only three pets (dogs/cats) are allowed per household.

Licensing helps the City insure that dogs are properly vaccinated against rabies.  It also helps the City, and Animal Control identify lost animals, returning them to their owners.    

Here's what you need

• Current certificate of rabies vaccination.
• Proof of spayed/neutered, if applicable.
• License fee: $20 not-spayed/neutered.  $15 spayed/neutered. 
• License is valid for 2 years from date of issue.
