Just like "Branford's Top Dog" Lanikai, a two-year old Bolognese owned by Cathy and Henry Dziekan, all dogs aged six months and older are required, by Connecticut state law, to be licensed. Dog licenses expire June 30 and must be renewed annually.

Even though June is dog licensing month, we license dogs every day! Visit the Branford Town Clerk's office at Town Hall if your dog is not licensed.  For licensing details visit www.branford-ct.gov or call (203) 315-0678.
