DOG LICENSE RENEWALS DUE THE MONTH OF JUNE**
In the State of Connecticut it is the law to license your dog in the Town Clerk's office of the Town in which you reside as soon as the dog has reached the age of 6 months. To avoid penalties and/or fines please mail or place in the Town Hall drop box on the front stairs your dog license information or renewal.  Include a current rabies certificate and, if the dog is spayed or neutered, a spay or neuter certificate.
 
Please note:  Per the Stonington Police Dept. you must be at least 18 years of age to be the registered owner of a dog.
 
**Also please note:  If you have just moved into town or acquired a new dog you are still required to register the dog even if it is not June.
 
 
Registrations Fees:
Male $19.00
Neutered Male $8.00
Female $19.00
Spayed Female $8.00
 
Please call if you no longer have your dog so we can update our files.
