Agriculture Secretary Announced Availability of 2022 Dog Licenses as Perfect Holiday Gift for Our Constant Companions

At the Cumberland County Court House, Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and Treasurer Kelly Neiderer announced availability of 2022 dog licenses, reminding Pennsylvania dog owners that a dog license makes the perfect stocking stuffer for canine companions.

"The best way to protect your dog this holiday season, and every day of the year, is to license your dog," said Secretary Redding. "2022 licenses must be purchased by December 31, so why not give your best friend the gift of security on Christmas day."

All dogs three months of age and older are required to be licensed. The fee for an annual dog license is $6.50, or $8.50 if the animal is not spayed or neutered. Lifetime licenses are available for dogs that have permanent identification such as a microchip or tattoo. Discounts are available for qualifying older adults and persons with disabilities.
