By licensing your dog, animal control makes every effort to reunite owners with their dog if it becomes accidentally lost. It is important that you keep your contact information up to date.

Residents can purchase or renew dog licenses online or the Municipal Office. By law, all dog owners must purchase a license for their pet annually, unless a lifetime tag was purchased.

Note: In accordance with Section 3.2(a) of the Canine Control By-law 2021-071, no person shall keep or harbour more than three (3) dogs at any one time in a dwelling unit or on any individual conveyable land entity located within the boundaries of the Municipality.
