Transfer a Dog’s Ownership from Another Community (RSA 466:3)

The Transfer a Dog's Ownership from Another Community process is used if a dog has been licensed in New Hampshire for the current year and the dog owner gives or sells the dog to another owner in your community. The Transfer a Dog's Ownership from Another Community will charge the new owner a $1.50 fee per RSA 466:3. Usually, a new owner will want to transfer the license into his/her name before renewal time because this will add the dog to your town’s database. Then if the dog is lost and subsequently found, a search of your database will find the new owner's contact information.

 

Note, in order to transfer a dog license, the new owner will need to prove they have already paid for a dog license in another New Hampshire community. This can be accomplished simply by providing the current license for the dog.

 

To change the ownership of a dog utilizing the Transfer a Dog’s Ownership from Another Community process, from the Dog Licensing main menu, select Transfer a Dog’s Ownership within a Community. Once you have searched and selected the new owner the Transfer Dog from Another Community dialog box displays.

 

 

Enter the information about the dog in the appropriate text boxes and click Next. When the licensing dialog box displays, select the License Type from the drop down menu and enter the license tag number. Select Next to complete the process.
