Due to COVID-19 illnesses and related<br \/>\nquarantines at the manufacturing plant, dog tag production was delayed<br \/>\nseveral weeks.   Residents are kindly asked to be patient regarding the<br \/>\nreceipt of their tags while the backlog of several hundred applications is<br \/>\ncleared.  <\/p>\n<p>The licensing period is January 1, 2021 \u2013 March 31, 2021, and a $10 late<br \/>\nfee applies beginning April 1, 2021.  All dogs over the age of 6 months are<br \/>\nrequired by law to be licensed.  The license is good for one year, and<br \/>\ncosts $10 for spayed or neutered dogs, and $15 for intact dogs.  Residents<br \/>\nover the age of 70 will be given a free license for their vaccinated dog<br \/>\nupon proof of the owner\u2019s age. <\/p>\n<p>In an effort to make this process easy for residents, there are several<br \/>\nways to license your dog.<br \/>\n\u2022\tIf you use the on-line system found here:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=dz+uDqeqP6q+lj6qrBW2UIY7H4lw2bh+izQX1pvxPMZoqLt7nDMYRqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\nand are simply re-registering an existing dog, you can retrieve your<br \/>\naccount by entering your first name, last name, house number and then by<br \/>\nselecting a street name from the drop down menu. You must enter the<br \/>\ninformation exactly how it was registered on the system in order to<br \/>\nretrieve your account. If found, you have to confirm your pet(s) name and<br \/>\nthen you can enter an email and create a password. This will save you<br \/>\nhaving to upload existing rabies or spay\/neuter certificates!  It will also<br \/>\nprevent duplicate and therefore confusing records.<br \/>\n\u2022\tResidents may also fill out the dog license application that is found<br \/>\non the Town Clerk\u2019s section of the Town of Hanover\u2019s website at:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=Nzn\/\/G2sttuue9Sf14Wk0oY7H4lw2Sh+izQX1pvxPMZoqLt7nDM4RqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\n.  This is the same application that was included in the census mailing<br \/>\nthis year.  Completed forms may be mailed in with your payment, proof of<br \/>\ncurrent rabies vaccination and proof of spaying or neutering (if you have<br \/>\nnot submitted that information previously) to: Town Clerk\u2019s Office, 550<br \/>\nHanover Street, Hanover, MA  02339, and your tag will be mailed back to<br \/>\nyou.<br \/>\n\u2022\tDue to locally high rates of COVID-19, dog licenses are not available<br \/>\nin-person at this time.  Residents wishing to drop off their paperwork may<br \/>\nsimply put it in an envelope in the front door mail slot along with a check<br \/>\npayable to the Town of Hanover.  Again, in all cases, your dog\u2019s tag will<br \/>\nbe mailed back to you.<\/p>\n<p>Unlicensed dogs are subject to a minimum of a $25 fine, with an additional<br \/>\n$25 fine if unleashed and another fine of $50 if unvaccinated for rabies.<br \/>\nDon\u2019t delay; get your dog\u2019s license soon!<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions or need more information about the licensing of your<br \/>\ndog in Hanover, please call the Town Clerk\u2019s Office at (781) 826-5000<br \/>\nx1079 or e-mail clerk.staff@hanover-ma.gov .  <\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221;,<br \/>\nCathy H-B<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; (&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;) has been a valued push notification<br \/>\nsince the spring of 2004 &#8211; long before there were push notifications!<\/p>\n<p>For submission guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions about<br \/>\n&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;, please go to<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=xodILJYEH7y5AydNykl3XoY7H4lw2Wh+izQX1pvxPMZoqLt7nDMYRqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\nTo search for archived &#8220;ATOTW&#8221; news, view the archive<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIf you would like to be added to this distribution list, click here<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nPlease follow the link in the response e-mail to validate your account.
