If you are a dog owner in Dauphin County, it is important that you license your dog. Licensing is mandated by state law and is enforced by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Fines for failing to secure a license range from $25.00 to $300.00. The Dauphin County Treasurer's office maintains a database of licenses that are issued, which enables lost dogs to be returned to their owners more readily. This reduces costs incurred by the municipalities when the Humane Society must take possession of a lost dog.

Please complete the annual or lifetime license application or Request for Microchip PIV form and mail it to the Dauphin County Treasurer's office, County Courthouse, Room 105, Front and Market Streets, Harrisburg, PA, 17101. You can also purchase a license at one of the 20 authorized agents throughout Dauphin County, whose names are listed on this website.

If you have found a lost dog in Dauphin County and it has a license, please call 780-6550 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
