SMETHPORT — Dog licenses for 2019 will be available at the county treasurer’s office beginning Monday.

McKean County residents can purchase dog licenses for 2019 from their acting county treasurer, Sherri Swanson. State law requires all dogs three months and older to be licensed by Jan. 1 of each year.

Beginning today, licenses can also be purchased at the Bradford Senior Center, Port Allegany Northern Tier Thrift Store, Eldred Senior Center and the Kane Community Center.

An annual dog license is $8.50 or $6.50 if the animal is spayed or neutered. Lifetime licenses are available for dogs that have permanent identification like a microchip or tattoo. Older adults and people with disabilities may be eligible for discounts.

The dog license application is simple and only requests owner contact information and details about the dog being licensed, like name, age, breed and color.
