All dogs and cats must be securely fastened with a collar and leash or in a carrier and accompanied by an adult. Dog owners must have a 2016 Hoboken dog license which can be obtained on site.

Proof of Hoboken residency is required.

License fees are $10 if the pet is spayed/neutered and $14 for non-spayed/neutered.
