Alaskan Sled Dog, On Loose In Bangor, Has Been Captured
In what s got to be one of the happiest endings, to a story that s had most of Bangor on alert for the past month: Beaver, the Alaskan Sled Dog has been found, safe and sound!
As we reported in an article earlier this month, Beaver was a retired Iditarod Sled Dog, being transported to Maine to be adopted by a family from Searsport. Unfortunately, Beaver got spooked as she exited the plane, and took off! She was wearing her harness, leash and collar, thankfully, so when folks started to spot her running around, she was pretty easy to identify. That was on February 27, and she s been on the run since then.
Deadline For Bangor Dog Registration Nearing
It s the final week to get Bangor dog residents registered.
The City of Bangor is reminding residents with dogs the deadline for registration is coming up. Maine requires dogs to be registered yearly. Licenses expire on Dec. 31. The deadline is Jan. 31. After the 31st, late fees are imposed. Bangor city code limits the number of dogs per-residence to 3 (more than six months of age).
If your dog s information isn t on file, owners need to show:
State of Maine rabies certificate.
A spay or neuter certificate.
Provide your dog’s veterinarian’s name and phone number.
