Renew Your Dog License by Wednesday, 1/31!

2024 dog license renewals can be submitted either online or via mail between 1/1 and 1/31. Late fees begin 2/1.

Click HERE for more information about our pet licensing policy.

Benefit of Licensing Your Dog: A dog license proves that your pet is vaccinated and promotes public health. Dog licenses are only provided to pets who have an updated rabies shot. A dog with a license tag gives good samaritans the confidence to approach a lost pet, since they know that they are not rabid.

With dog license renewals currently taking place, Middletown Animal Control would like to remind residents about the benefits of licensing your dog! Throughout the month of January, we will be sharing these advantages via our communications channels. Be sure to follow Middletown Township on Facebook, Instagram, and X!
