Licensing and VaccinationsEagar animal ordinances require the licensing and vaccination of all pets. Dogs are licensed for the first year, and every three years thereafter. The cost for licensing a dog is $5.00 for spayed/neutered pets, $25.00 for others. Owners with unlicensed animals may be subject to fines. Once a year, in conjunction with a local veterinarian, the Animal Control Officer runs a rabies clinic, in which pets can be licensed, and vaccinations are offered at a reduced rate. Residents in the Town of Eagar are allowed only four (4) dogs per residence. If a Town of Eagar resident owns, keeps, possesses, harbors or maintains more than four (4) dogs per residence they must obtain a Kennel Permit.
