Cruelty To Animals Is Against the Law

If you have any questions on cruelty to animals the Maine statutes can be found at Animal Cruelty Maine Statutes.

Did you know that per State Statute all dogs must be registered/licensed with the City by December 31st of each year?

  • The licensing fee is $6.00 for a dog that is neutered or spayed and $11.00 for a dog that is not fixed.  
  • When licensing your dog you must show a current State of Maine rabies certificate.  
  • In addition, if your dog has been neutered or spayed in the last year please bring that certificate with you as well.  

Please contact City Hall if you have any questions.

Online Dog Registrations

The City of Gardiner also offers dog registrations online from October 15th to December 31st.

DON'T FORGET TO HAVE YOUR PET SPAYED or NEUTERED!
