Dog Licenses

Dog Licenses must be purchased when a dog reaches the age of 6 months.

When purchasing a dog license, a rabies certificate and a spayed/neutered certificate (if applicable) must be shown in order for a license to be issued.  Licenses must be renewed annually within the month of June thereafter.

People moving to Ellington from another Connecticut town with a current dog license can transfer the license for a fee of $1.00.  Replacement tags for lost tags can be purchased for $.50. 

Fees Spayed/Neutered - $8.00 Un-spayed/Un-neutered - $19.00

 

A late fee of $1.00 per month will be imposed for each dog not licensed within the month of June.

When Licensing your dog by mail, please send your check [payable to the Town of Ellington], the certificate of rabies and the spay/neuter certificate along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your tags.
