Dogs are allowed to be kept as pets without registration unless the number of dogs exceeds three. If there are four or more dogs on the property, a Hobby Kennel License is required; commercial activities require a Commercial Kennel License.
Dogs are prohibited from running at large and must be kept on the owner’s property or on a leash when on streets or other public land. Identification is required for any dog over the age of six months. The ID (showing name, address and phone number of the owner), along with a rabies vaccination tag must be affixed to a collar and worn at all times. Dogs must be vaccinated for rabies and distemper at least once every three years.
The owner of every animal shall be responsible for the prompt removal of any excreta deposited by his or her animal on public walks, recreational or public property.
