Animal Ordinance

Breitung Township encourages you to license your pets!  It is within our ordinances that dogs and cats must be licensed; it is for your benefit and your pets to purchase a license - if your pet is loose, a license can help easily identify your furry friend and get them back home safely! Licenses last the lifetime of the animal and cost $20 for a spayed/neutered animal or $30 for non-spayed/non-neutered.  You can review the animal ordinances here: Breitung » Township Ordinances
