Licenses ensure that dogs are vaccinated against rabies, as proof of rabies vaccination is required to purchase a license. Licensing your dog provides a way of tracing the dog back to you, and can help locate you in the event your dog is lost, or it is injured and treatment needs to be authorized. It may keep your dog from making an unnecessary trip to the Springfield pound.

All dogs in the Town of Springfield are required to wear a current license tag.

Bring proof of your dogs current rabies vaccination to Springfield Town Hall during normal business hours.
