Why License Your Dog?
- It's the Law: New York State Agriculture & Markets Law, Article 7, requires that dogs in New York State be licensed and wear their dog license tag.
- Easy Identification: When wearing a license tag, dogs are easier to identify, enabling them to be reunited with their owner faster if they should run off. A license is a lost dog's ticket home.
- Health & Safety: By requiring that a dog have valid rabies vaccination prior to licensing, a dog license helps to control and prevent the spread of rabies.
- Dog Parks: All Monroe County Dog Parks require a valid dog license and rabies vaccination. Follow the link or call Monroe County Department of Parks Administrative Office at (585) 753-7275 for more information.
