Sec. 22-340. Town clerk to provide licenses and tags. (a) Each person complying
with the provisions of section 22-338, 22-339 or 22-342 shall receive from the town
clerk a license on a form prescribed by the commissioner, which license shall contain
a description of the dog and the number under which such dog is licensed. The town
clerk shall issue to such person a tag or plate of material prescribed by the commissioner,
upon which shall be distinctly marked the name of the town in which such dog is licensed,
the license number and the year of license. No town clerk shall issue such license or tag
to any person for any neutered male or spayed female dog not previously licensed as
such unless the person causing the dog to be licensed exhibits to the town clerk a certificate from a licensed veterinarian stating that such veterinarian has neutered or spayed
the dog or that, after examining the dog, he finds that the dog has been neutered or
spayed.
