All dogs or wolf-hybrids more than six months old on or before April 1, 2011 are to be licensed by April 1st . To obtain a license, owners must provide a current rabies certificate to show the dog or wolf-hybrid has been vaccinated. Copies of all rabies vaccination certificates for dogs and wolf-hybrids shall be filed with the Town Clerk.
Fees are as follows: $8.00 for each male/female unneutered dog or wolf-hybrid, $4.00 for each neutered male/female dog or wolf-hybrid. An additional $4.00 will be charged for each license sold. This $4.00 will be sent to the State of Vermont, $1.00 for their rabies control program and $3.00 for their spaying/neutering program.
All cats shall be inoculated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. A person may use an approved vaccine to inoculate a feral feline that takes up residence in a building other than the person's home and need not use the services of a licensed veterinarian for this purpose.
It has been suggested by the Board of Selectmen that a photo of a registered dog in the files would be helpful when a dog is missing or found. Anyone interested in submitting a photo of their dog for the files may do so.
