TOWN OF NEW
BALTIMORE ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO DOG LICENSING LAW
Town of New Baltimore today announced changes to the dog licensing
program, effective January 15, 2006. The new state law requires
that a dog license may not be issued for a time period extending beyond
the expiration date of a dog’s rabies certificate.
Dog licenses issued on and after January 15, 2006, must not expire
after the expiration date of the dog’s rabies certificate. In
order to receive a full year license, a dog that is due for a rabies
vaccination booster within the next license year would need to be
immunized prior to license renewal.
This change affects all dogs licensed in New York State, except those
licensed in New York City, which has a separate dog licensing law.
Pursuant to the New York Public Health Law, county public health
authorities must offer free clinics at least every four months for the
rabies vaccination of dogs, as well as for cats and domesticated
ferrets.
Greene County Rabies Clinic for New Baltimore residents will be held
Wednesday, March 22, 2006, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the
Medway-Grapeville Fire House on County Route 51 in Hannacroix.
For further information, please call New Baltimore Town Clerk at
756-6671.
