LICENSING YOUR DOGS:     

 New York State Law requires all dogs to be licensed by the municipality in which the dog lives. Licensing your dogs provides us with a way of making sure your pet is returned to you if he wanders off; and also with a way to reassure your neighbor that your dog has been vaccinated against rabies if an unpleasant incident occurs and you are unavailable.  Sometimes, there's a case of mistaken identity, and we can confirm ownership of a pet who enjoys exploring.  In Spafford, the cost of the license is $2.50 if the dog has been spayed or neutered; $10.50 if the dog is not spayed or neutered.  The Town of Spafford charges no local fees for licensing dogs.

      Renewals can be done through the mail: sign the form you received from the NYS and send the entire document to the Town Clerk's office with a check payable to "Town of Spafford";  (the fee is listed on the form) and proof of a current rabies vaccination.  If you did not receive a renewal form, or have misplaced it; a replacement can be printed by the Town Clerk.      

      Mail the documents to: Spafford Town Clerk, 1984 Route 174, Skaneateles, NY 13152. Thank you so much for your help in keeping our dogs licensed!
