Dog Licensing

Dog licenses are due annually on February 28. Notice is provided by mail. They can be paid online or by visiting our Administration Office. Your dog license must be attached to your dog's collar while off your personal property, otherwise, you risk a fine. Please ensure you promptly notify us if your dog is no longer with you as we need to update your file to ensure you aren’t charged for licensing fees. The cost of a dog license (tag) is $51.75 (altered- must provide veterinary certificate) and $92.00 (unaltered).

Animal Control

 
Animal Control activities vary greatly, from barking dogs to strays and/or neglected animals. To inquire or begin the complaint process, please refer to the information above. The Town partners with the Prairie Tails Animal Rescue to ensure animals that come into our care receive the necessary care and attention. If you have questions regarding animals in our care, please contact Municipal Enforcement by calling the 24 hour line at 587-790-1294 . 

• When filing a complaint, the more information you provide, the better. For example, if you’re filing a complaint regarding a barking dog, keeping a log of days and times the dog is barking will help our Municipal Enforcement team address your complaint.  
• The personal information you provide in your complaint is kept private.  
• Outcomes of complaints are unique to the situation and influenced greatly by available evidence. 
• During an investigation, you might be asked to provide a written statement of what you observed. You might also be asked if you’re willing to testify in court. If a Municipal Enforcement Officer has not personally witnessed the infraction, testimony becomes essential to charges being laid.  
• Files remain open until resolved.  

Please Note: Updates are not guaranteed due to privacy and compliance requirements. Residents are asked not to contact Municipal Enforcement for updates. Municipal Enforcement will contact residents directly only when additional information or follow-up is required. Residents should be aware that no other notifications will be provided.
