Seniors who own dogs in New Castle County will get a break on their licensing fees starting June 1.
Typically, licenses cost $10 for dogs that are fixed and $15 for those not spayed or neutered, but thanks to a new law passed Tuesday, those over 65 will now have to pay just $4 to register their faithful friends.
The $4 reflects the administrative cost to the county for processing licenses, said the legislation's sponsor Councilman Bill Bell (D-Middletown).
Beginning this year, the state passed on dog licensing responsibilities to the three counties.
