ADAMS, Mass. — The Town Clerk's office wants to remind residents that it's time to license your dog.
All puppies age 3 months and older must be licensed, and all dogs over the age of 6 months must have an active rabies vaccination in effect in order to get a license. The town will not issue a license without proof that the dog has received a rabies shot.
Licenses for non-spayed or non-neutered dogs are $20 each; the cost for spayed or neutered dogs is $8 each.
If your dog is newly spayed or neutered, bring a statement from your veterinarian, and you'll be eligible to receive the lower-priced license.
Licenses not purchased by June 15 are subject to a $10 late fee in addition to the cost of the license. To purchase a license, visit the clerk's office at 8 Park St.

why doesn't everyone just change the dog licensing to the 1st of Jan? Much easier to remember and in North Adams they send you the reminder and if you just send them proof of rabies and your money w/ a self addressed stamped envelope they send the license back to you
