The City of Gardner notes: “If you no longer have a dog that was previously licensed with the City or have moved, please notify us so that we can remove you from the system and avoid any unnecessary fees and/or violations” The location for dog licenses is the City Clerk’s office in Gardner City Hall and the telephone number is (978) 630-4058.
