cost $7 per year for spayed
or neutered animals and
$ 15 per year for those that
are not.
Currently the city
is notifying all dog own
ers who have not renewed
licenses for 2010, or who
have been identified as hav-
ing an unlicensed animal on
their property.
When applying for
a new license, a current
rabies immunization cer
tificate is also required.
This policy helps identify
dogs that are lost or picked
up, and in many cases, the
owners can be notified and
their pets returned.

tion contact Heppner City
Manager Dave De Mayo at
541-676-9618.
