Bristol Borough is reminding dog owners to obtain licenses for your furry friends or be penalized with fines

All dogs three months or older must be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year. Violators can be cited with a maximum fine of $300 per violation plus court costs.

An annual license is $8.50 and a lifetime license is $51.50. If the animal is spayed or neutered, the annual fee is $6.50 and lifetime is $31.50. Discounts are available to older adults and people with disabilities.

The small license fee helps the millions of dogs in the state by funding the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement.

Licenses can be obtained online by clicking here or from your local county treasurer:
Ms. Kristian Ballerini, Treasurer
5th Floor Administration Building
55 East Court Street
Doylestown, PA 18901
Phone: (215) 348-6244 Fax: (267) 885-1419
Email: treasurer@buckscounty.org
Visit https://www.padoglicense.com/ to apply today.

Reasons for dog licensing:
1. It’s the law. All dogs three months and older must have a current license.
2. If your dog gets lost, a license is the best way to get him back. A license helps animal control and shelters identify your dog and get him back home safely.
3. The cost of a license is less than the penalty for being caught without one. Owners who fail to license their dogs could face a fine of up to $300 for each unlicensed dog.

License fees support animal control. The annual fee you pay to license your dog helps keep shelters running and supports the work of the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, which is responsible for ensuring the welfare of dogs, regulating dangerous dogs and overseeing annual licensing and rabies vaccinations.
