Dog Licencing for 2009

19 November 2008

Beginning in November, invoices, to renew dog licences for the 2009 calendar year, will be mailed to dog owners who have previously licensed their dogs with the City.

The benefits of licencing your dog include:
  • It provides identification, allowing us to return your dog to you sooner, if lost or stolen
  • It provides statistics on the number of dogs within our community
  • It supports the Richmond Animal Shelter and other animal related programs within our community

Each licence fee will reflect any discounts available up to February 28, 2009. Payment instructions are included with the renewal and we encourage you to use Canada Post or the drop off boxes to make your payment. Renewal decals will be mailed to your home within two to four weeks of receiving your licence fee.

For more information and for residents without a licence for their dogs, we encourage you to visit the City’s web site at www.richmond.ca > Public Safety > Pets & Animals > Dog Licences for details, fees and application forms.
