Hello Ms. Van Marter,
I was wondering whether there was ever any response from the department that handles pet registrations.
Thanks so much for your time,
Beryl

We addressed this before and advised you around June 1, 2016, there are 8,000 new licenses since 2010, that does not include renewals, the licenses are all on paper that would have to be copied, the clerk's office does not maintain a spread sheet with this information and under FOIL we don't have to create one. The cost would be well over $2000
Thanks Ginger
