The Boston Parks and Recreation Department’s Animal Care and Control Division is reminding city dog owners that the annual deadline for licensing their pets is March 31.
All dogs in Boston require a new license each year.
“A license is your dog’s fastest ticket home if they become lost, and it’s the law,” said Animal Care and Control Director Alexis Trzcinski. “A dog license is like an ID for your pet. If they ever get lost, the chances of you being reunited are much higher with a license.”
In preparation for the 2021 licensing deadline, the Animal Care & Control Division analyzed licensing data from last year to reveal the most popular dog names of 2020. The top five dog names registered in Boston were Luna, Bella, Charlie, Lucy and Lola. Rounding out the bottom of the top 25 were Buddy, Riley, Finn, Coco and Winston.
With a current increase in dog adoptions during the COVID-19 quarantine, the Boston Parks and Recreation Department’s Animal Care and Control Division is reminding city dog owners that the annual deadline for licensing their pets is March 31. All dogs in Boston require a new license each year.

You may not have seen one in your neighborhood but there have been a lot of social media posts about coyote sightings recently.
“It was around 10 in the morning and we happened to be looking out the window,” said Elba Mendez, a resident of Boston s Hyde Park neighborhood. “Well, actually my husband said, Look Elba. There’s a coyote. ”
Mendez alerted her neighbors after posting a picture of a coyote that she saw across the street from her Parker Street house last week.
“I was scared because I have a little dog,” she said. “He goes in and out through the doggie door. We are fenced in but still I was worried that he could come if he hears my dog.”
