Millville, Massachusetts

§ 40-5 Dog and kennel licenses; fees.

A. License required. Any owner or keeper of a dog over the age of six months in the Town of Millville shall cause that dog to be licensed, as required by MGL c. 140 before May 30 of each licensing period or within 30 days after the dog becomes six months old. The Town Clerk shall be the licensing authority, and the registering, numbering, describing and licensing of a dog shall be conducted in the office of the Town Clerk.

B. Annual dog license. The annual fee for every dog license, except as otherwise provided for by law, shall be $15, unless a certificate is presented to the Town Clerk, from the veterinarian who performed the operation, stating that such dog has been altered and has thereby been deprived of the power of breeding or producing offspring, in which case the fee shall be $10. If the Town Clerk is satisfied that the certification by the veterinarian who altered the dog cannot be obtained, he may accept, in lieu thereof, a receipt of a bill from the veterinarian who performed such procedure or a statement, signed under the penalties of perjury, by a registered veterinarian practicing in the Commonwealth which describes the dog and states that he has examined the dog and in his opinion the dog appears to have been spayed or neutered and to be incapable of propagation.
