BERLIN — State law requires dog owners to annually register their four-legged friends with the city and Berlin residents have until July 15 to do so without paying an additional $25 civil forfeiture fee.

City Clerk Shelli Fortin reported to the city council Monday night that 218 dog owners have not registered with the city despite multiple notices mailed from her office. Technically, registrations are due on May 30 and Fortin said 905 owners have registered their dogs as required.
