Dog Licensing Information and Form

The New York State Agriculture and Markets Law requires that all dogs four (4) months of age or older be licensed each year. Any dog under 4 months of age running at large, must also be licensed.

Application forms may be picked up in the Town Clerk's office in the Town Hall, Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. Alternately, you may complete the application form on-line, then print it and bring it with you. Scroll down to see license instructions and the application form below.

Required documentation:
A certificate from a duly licensed veterinarian must be presented showing that the dog has been vaccinated against rabies. In the case of a spayed female dog or a neutered male dog, a veterinary certificate or affidavit of the procedure is required. The Town hosts a Monroe County Rabies Vaccine Clinic once a year; check www.monroecounty.gov/eh-rabies for the annual schedule. Pittsford Clinic details can be found in the Town eNews and on the Town website home page when the clinic date approaches.

You may either mail or bring your license application to the Pittsford Town Hall, 11 S. Main Street, Pittsford, New York 14534. If you do license your dog by mail, please be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope so we may return the appropriate forms to you. If you have any questions please call (585) 248-6240 or e-mail the Animal Control Officer.
