Did you know?
New York State Agriculture and Market Law requires all dogs older than 4 months to be licensed within the Town they reside.
Licensing ensures that all dogs have been properly vaccinated against rabies for the protection of both you and your neighbors.
Also, licensing your dog ensures a safe return to you if lost.
If your dog is spayed or neutered the fee is just $6.00! Otherwise, it is $13.00.
It can also be done through the mail if you send in proof of rabies vaccination and proof if your pet has been spayed or neutered to the Town Clerk at 38 Park Place, Port Henry, NY 12974 with check or money order made payable to the Town of Moriah for $6.00 or $13.00; whichever is applicable.
Once your dog is licensed it will need to be renewed yearly; a reminder will be mailed to you in the month you licensed your dog.
If you have any questions, please contact the Town Clerk at 518-546-3341 or send an email to townclerk@townofmoriahny.gov.
