The dog license usually ome around door to door i just got all my guys registerd,i asked her since last year i recieved the papers to fill out in my taxes,she said that not all people own the home there living in so they would not get the papers,so depending on where you live i guess the town hall is a good place to go to find out more on that!!I hope you enjoy your new Dog they bring so much love to one's life.
