Dog licensing began on December 1, according to Westwood Town Clerk Dottie Powers. Dog owners have until January 31, to license their pets. There is a late fee of $25.

If your dog is spayed or neutered the fee is $10, while the fee is $15 for an unaltered dog.

You can register by mail by sending in current rabies paperwork. If it's a new dog in town, also make sure to show the certificate of spay or neuter.

In other Clerk news, census forms will be sent out the last week of December. They must be returned within 10 days.
