Residents reminded to have dogs licensed: City Bylaw Services
City of Cranbrook residents are reminded to have their dogs licensed each year; that is the message from the City Bylaw Services Office.
Under the City of Cranbrook Animal Control Bylaw No. 3555, any person who is a resident of the city and who is the owner of a dog two months of age or older, needs to ensure that they have a valid dog license. No person shall own, keep or harbour an unlicensed dog in the City of Cranbrook.
“I think the public would be surprised at the number of stray dogs we are required to take to the SPCA, because the dog has not been licensed,” says Naomi Humenny, Bylaw Services Officer. “As a result, we have no access to the owner’s information and no way to return the dog home.”
Licenses issued for dogs are valid for the calendar year (January 1 to December 31) and can be purchased at city hall. If paid prior to February 28th, license fees for a sterile dog is $8 and a non-sterile dog is $30.
For more information about dog licensing, you can contact city hall at 250-426-4211. To review the City of Cranbrook Animal Control Bylaw, please visit the city website at www.cranbrook.ca.
