Dog License Renewal & Search for Portland’s “Top Dog”

 

The Portland Town Clerk’s office is once again accepting donations of dog and cat food as part of our annual contest to determine which dog will wear the No. 1 dog tag for the upcoming year.  The pet food collected will go to the Portland Food Bank, for those in temporary need.

 

Entry is easy, just donate cans/ bags of dog or cat food when registering your dog at the Town Clerk’s Office between now and June 30th. For each can/ bag donated, your dog will earn a ticket for a drawing to be held at 11:00 am on June 28th.  Limit of 16 entries per dog, although additional donations are greatly appreciated.  The first three tickets chosen will receive the #1, #2, and #3 dog tags.

 

All dog owners must obtain a license or renew their current licenses between June 1st and June 30th for the fiscal year beginning July 1.   A recent state law also requires an owner of a dog going to a kennel to be licensed.  The state-mandated registration fee is $8 for a spayed/ neutered dog, and $19 for a non-spayed/ non-neutered dog.  Certificate of spayed/ neutered must be provided for first time licenses to receive the $8 fee amount.  A rabies vaccination certificate must also be provided for first time licenses or if the previous vaccination has expired.  After July 1st, a $1 monthly penalty will apply.
