to trace ownership if a dog is found that is lost, stolen, etc.
Wisconsin
state law and the Village Municipal Code require that as of April
1 of each year, or upon reaching 5 months of age, all dogs must
be licensed and must have an active certificate of proof of rabies
vaccination from a licensed veterinarian. A Certificate of proof
of current vaccination must be presented when obtaining a license.

all times.
A

of age or over who fails to obtain a dog license by April 1st. In
addition, the fine for failure to obtain a dog license or failure
to have a dog vaccinated against rabies is $150.00.
