Dog License Information for Greater Gardner MA Communities
Once again it is Dog License time in area communities. In Gardner, those over 70 do not have to pay a fee, but still need to verify rabies vaccination and obtain the license.
Communities require an updated rabies certificate from the dog owner. License fees vary whether dog is spayed or neutered or not. Late fees vary considerably by City or town. Click on the Community name below for link to official dog license page and/or forms.
