Dog Registration 2004/05

Yes, it's that time again…

You need to register your dog because it…

- Helps to identify it if it strays
- Helps to prove ownership
- Helps if the dog is stolen
- Helps if the dog is injured
- Helps if your dog is impounded

Register your dog before 31 July 2004 and save $10.00.

If you pay after 31 July 2004 you will lose the $10.00 early payment rebate.

If you pay after 31 August 2004 you will lose the $25.00 good dog owner rebate.

If you don't register your dog, the automatic fine is $300.00.

Remember the third (and subsequent) 'working' dog costs only $5.00, and the fourth (and subsequent) 'non working' dog costs $10.00.

All dogs over three months old must be registered by law.
