Don't Forget to Get Your Dog Licence!

1. Dog licencing window is closing. Those looking to register their dog for 2013 may do so without fine for the remainder of the month. Bedford Town Clerk Lori Radke warns that after May 31, late fees will apply, and civil forfeiture fines of $25 will be issued beginning June 21. For the convenience of residents, renewals are available via mail or online through EDOG. The form and EDOG are both located here. Those renewing by mail should be sure to include proof of current rabies vaccination and a self-addressed stamped envelope. The town clerk is also available to license dogs at the Bedford Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 1, from 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. at the Bedford Memorial Town Pool field. Those who no longer have a dog or need additional information are encouraged to contact Radke at 472-3550 or email her at Lradke@bedfordnh.org.
