All owners must register their dogs annually with the Township. The By-law 2023-05 section 3.a, requires that all dogs owned in the Township be licenced and wearing a tag. By licencing your dog, you ensure that Animal Control Services will make every effort to reunite you with your pet if lost.
Any change of address or mention of an animal’s death must be reported to the By-law Department. (Contacts found on the left of this page)
