Tolland's Annual Unlicensed Dog Survey Set To Begin

TOLLAND, CT — Tolland's annual unlicensed dog survey is scheduled to begin next month.

The Tolland Animal Control Department will begin contacting residents at random beginning "on or about March 15," officials said.

The survey will conclude by May 31, officials said.

Dogs six months and older are required to be licensed, officials said. Licenses are available in the Town Clerk’s Office located in Town Hall during regular business hours (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.).

Proof of current rabies vaccination is required.

All dog licenses purchased from June 1, 2020 to present are considered current and owners may renew their licenses beginning June 1, 2021.

Residents no longer owning a dog can contact 860-871-3676 to update the licensing database or by sending an email to animalcontrol@tolland.org. Residents should include the owner's name, address and the dog’s name and state why the dog isn't licensed.

Fines could be $75 for each unlicensed dog.
