Renew Your Dog License Between Monday, 1/1 and Wednesday, 1/31!

2024 dog license renewals can be submitted either online or via mail between 1/1 and 1/31. Late fees begin 2/1.

Click HERE for more information about our pet licensing policy.

Benefit of Licensing Your Dog: Your lost pet will have a better chance of reuniting with you quickly. The fastest way to access important owner information is with a license tag. Most pets wearing a tag are returned to owners within minutes of our Health Department's Animal Control Division arriving on scene.

With dog license renewals beginning on Monday, Middletown Animal Control would like to remind residents about the benefits of licensing your dog! Throughout the month of January, we will be sharing these advantages via our communications channels. Be sure to follow Middletown Township on Facebook, Instagram, and X!
