Dogs Pay Tax But Funds Fall Short Of Needs
Frederick County residents face a long standing dog tax with two dollars for male dogs and three dollars for females. In 1974 dog license sales totaled 10 177 dollars funding animal services, yet the humane society budget neared 16 000 dollars for shelter staff and food for over 3 000 dogs and 2 000 cats yearly. The county also allocates about 28 000 dollars for dog wardens and 4 000 for damages caused by stray dogs.
