As of September 1, 2012, the Animal Health Services Division in the Department of Agriculture will resume the licensing of dogs and increase the trapping of strays.

The Division has improved the registration process and will be providing microchips free of charge throughout September or for as log as stocks last.

Licensing is one of the methods the Department employs to promote and protect human and animal safety. Remember, the license lasts for one year and the law limits ownership to three dogs per household. Download the
