Dog Licenses


Stray Dogs

The Town of Lincoln now takes any stray dogs that get picked up to the Marshfield Area Pet Shelter. MAPS is a no kill shelter, so the dogs will likely be claimed by their owner or find a new home. MAPS can be contacted at: 715-486-5140 or go to: https://www.marshfieldpetshelter.org
