Dog Laws

Without identification, a lost dog may never make it home. License your dog online by January 1st.

Your best friend's best chance to make it home safely is to be properly licensed. All dogs 3 months of age or older are required by Pennsylvania law to have a current dog license. Failure to have your dog licensed may result in a fine of up to $300 (per dog).
