According to Farrin, Teddy’s lovable face will be on next year’s dog licensing poster and he will recieve a $50 discount on his next trip to the vet.
“There’s excitement to licensing your dog,” Farrin said during the Jan. 9 City Council meeting. “I want to remind everyone that there is no late fee until Feb. 1, at which point a $6 dog will cost $31 and an $11 dog will cost $36.”
Of the several hundred dogs entered in the drawing, all were registered between Oct. 15 and Dec. 31 of last year.
Councilor Phil McDonough asked Farrin what determines the cost of licensing dogs, and she explained that the lower charge is for spayed or neutered canines while the higher fee is levied on dogs that can still reproduce.
City Manager Austin Bleess added that these fees are all set on a state government level.
Late fees, according to the city clerk, go toward the city of Caribou.
