Your Responsibilities
Owners have legal responsibilities which are intended for the convenience of residents. Please:
- Attach the registration tag and identification tag to the collar.
- Don’t let your dog wander without proper control.
- Keep the animal generally quiet.
- Clean up after your pet in public places.
- Dogs must be restrained on a leash in public places at all times.
A dog attack is a very serious matter. If your dog attacks a person or other animal, you will be held responsible, even if you were not there at the time. There are penalties of up to $10,000 and/or 12 months in jail for a dog attack or inciting a dog attack.
