The Bensalem Police Department is reminding residents of Bucks County to register their dogs. According to a social media post, the Bucks County Treasurer’s Office is enforcing pet licensing requirements to ensure compliance with the law and promote the welfare of pets.
Any dog brought into a household, whether purchased or adopted, must be registered with the county by three months of age. The Treasurer’s Office warns that failure to license a dog can result in fines of up to $500, which may include court costs. Licensing also helps ensure that lost pets can be returned to their owners quickly.
Dog license renewals in Bucks County are due annually on January 1. The Bensalem Police Department is urging residents to keep their pets safe by ensuring their dogs are properly licensed. Registration helps protect pets and ensures they can be returned to their owners if lost.
