Ahhh, there’s your sweet furry Fido. ❤️
What would you do without that wagging tail, wet nose and four-legged friend who somehow knows exactly when you need a little extra love? Today, August 26, 2026, is National Dog Day, a day to celebrate dogs of every breed, shape and size and all the companionship they bring to our lives.
So give your pup a little extra attention today. Take a walk somewhere special. Plan an adventure. Offer up a dog-safe pup cup or favorite treat. Or maybe just give them a few extra belly rubs … we’re pretty sure they won’t complain.
And while you’re celebrating, here’s one less-exciting-but-important way to take care of your best friend:
Make sure your dog is properly licensed!
In Ellsworth, all dogs 6 months and older must be licensed, and licenses are renewed annually. Dogs can be licensed online or through the City Clerk’s Office at City Hall.
It only takes a few minutes and then you can get back to the important National Dog Day business.

Happy National Dog Day to all of Ellsworth’s very good boys and girls! 🐾❤️
