With the turning of the year, the City of Perry feels now is a good time to remind pet owners to renew their annual pet licenses.

Licenses expire on December 31st of each year, and must be renewed by January 31st. Those within Perry City limits with cats and dogs over six-months-old must obtain or renew a license before then. The fee for altered animals is $5, and $20 for non-altered. Owners must also show proof of rabies vaccinations. A late fee of $5 will be charged for those acquiring licenses after February 1st.

In addition to the licensing, the City also reminds residents it’s a good time to get their yearly passes for the Perry Dog Park. The fee is $20 for the first dog and $10 for each additional dog, with a maximum of three dogs. Day passes are also available for $2 per dog. You must have a current pet license in order to get a dog park permit. The licenses and permits can be obtained at the McCreary Community Building. For more information, or if you have questions, call the McCreary Center at 515-465-5621.
