(Beaver County, PA) Dog wardens will canvass homes in Beaver County several times during the spring to summer months to ensure all dog owners have current licenses and rabies vaccinations for their dogs. A dog license is a legal responsibility of owning a dog in Pennsylvania and that is the best way to ensure that your pet doesn’t end up in a shelter if it gets lost. An annual license costs $10.80 and lifetime licenses are available for $52.80 for dogs with permanent identification like a microchip or tattoo. Senior adults and people with disabilities may be eligible for discounted fees of $8.80 for an annual license or $36.80 for a lifetime license. Licenses may be purchased in person at either the Beaver County Humane Society or between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Beaver County Treasurer’s Office in Beaver or by mail to Beaver County Treasurer at 810 3rd Street, Beaver or online at https://www.doglicenses.us/PA/Beaver/ by clicking here.  If you have any questions, you can call 724-770-4540 or you can visit this link by clicking here or call 717-787-3062 for more information.
