Beginning today NYC Health and NYC Parks will be in City Parks helping pet owners obtain or renew their dog license. Dog license applications will be available in the mornings and the evenings during normal dog walking hours. Owner’s who’s dogs are not yet licensed will be given an application and information on the benefits of licensing their dog and responsible pet ownership. Staff will be on site in parks throughout the five boroughs on Wednesdays during the month of October (generally before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM).
