Dog Licenses | ||||||||
Dogs in the Municipality of Central Huron are required to be licenced annually, as per our Animal Control By-law. The tag must be worn on your dog at all times. A dog tag is the best form of ID for your dog. It will help with returning lost dogs to their owners. If your dog is picked up without a dog licence, you may be subject to additional fees. All dog owners must keep their dogs on a leash and abide by "poop and scoop" regulations.
