Dog licenses to be sold in Troy
Bradford County Treasurer Becky Clark, along with the county dog warden Dale Cole, will sell dog licenses from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 6., at the Troy Borough Hall, according to a news release.
The release continues:
The Pennsylvania Dog Law has raised the fine amount from $300 to $500 if a dog does not have a current license, so residents of Troy and the surrounding areas are encouraged to purchase their license(s) on this date, if not bought previously. Fees remain the same as in the past of $8 for male or female dogs, $6 if spayed or neutered. Senior citizens 65 years or older or disabled persons who qualify are eligible for a reduced rate of $6 for male or female or $4 or spayed or neutered. For more information, call the treasurer's office at (570) 265-1700.
