All dogs within the town must be licensed by April 30, 2023 to avoid a late fee. The cost is $6.00 per dog and proof of rabies immunization is required. 

For your convenience and safety, we are continuing to use our online dog license program. We encourage you to apply for dog licenses online.

You can also renew online at:

If you are unable to access this program, we strongly suggest that you mail us a new or updated rabies certificate along with a check for $6.00. In return, our office will send your original rabies certificate back to you with your license to the mailing address provided.

The day was cold, but these awesome volunteers came out anyway. We found lots of cigarette butts, some basketballs, a cat litter box, a hubcap, a necklace and shirt, and then the regular litter items. We collected about 140 pounds of litter in just that short time.
