Poster Contest Concerns Dog Licenses — Pennsylvania first through sixth graders are invited to enter a poster contest to raise awareness about the importance of dog licensing as part of “Dog License Awareness Month” in Pennsylvania, says State Rep. Jim Cox.
The poster contest is open to all students enrolled in public, private or home school. Students involved with a sponsoring 4-H club or scouting organization may also participate. The poster must reflect the theme “License your dog. It’s his ticket home,” and also include the website www.licenseyourdogPA.com.
Judging will be based on effective communication of the theme and importance of the dog license law and creativity. The deadline tis April 30.
State law requires all dogs three months and older to be licensed each year. Owners who fail to license their dogs could face a fine of up to $300 for each unlicensed dog.
