June is Dog License Month – TAG YOUR PUP!
Have you ever noticed how creative graffiti can be? From elaborate drawings to funky colorful signatures, known as TAGGING, graffiti is an art form all its own! Well, the Town Clerk’s Office thinks it’s unfair that humans can express creativity with their “TAGS” but man’s best friends do not… And we plan to do something about that!
The Killingworth Town Clerk’s Office wants you to license your dog during the month of June and enter Killingworth’s “TAG” Your Pup contest. 3 winning pups will be randomly selected to be Killingworth’s 2025 TOP DOGS!
Simply stop into the Town Clerk’s Office with cash or check (payable to “Town of Killingworth“) and take a minute to create a colorful “TAG” that expresses your dog’s true style and personality. Please don’t worry if you can’t come in person… just mail your check for renewal to the town clerk’s office or renew on-line with a credit card at www.townofkillingworth.com and your dog’s license will be mailed to your home.
The cost of a dog license in June remains the same at $8 for a spayed/neutered pup or $19 if intact.
As always, proof of valid rabies vaccination is required.
