Why do we license dogs?
Towns are required, by New York State law, to provide dog control and to license dogs.
What is my licensing money used for?
Any dog license fees collected by the Town can only be spent on dog related services. All of your license fee stays in the Town of Enfield and helps pay for the cost of our contract with the SPCA.
The State Surcharge, also required by law, is sent to the New York State Animal Population Control Fund and is distributed by grants to non-profit organizations low cost spay/neuter programs though out New York State (excluding New York City).
