MD pet tags help ensure your pet’s quick and safe return if it goes missing—and they're free for residents.

Animal Control Bylaw #2021-11 is one of the MD’s most commonly enforced regulations, addressing a variety of common issues.

Frequent violations include dogs roaming freely, excessive barking that disturbs neighbours, and dogs approaching or chasing individuals.

While your dog may be a beloved and friendly member of your family, it’s important to recognize that others might see them as intimidating or potentially aggressive.

Help maintain a harmonious environment by keeping your dogs securely confined to your property and always using a leash when walking them. By following these guidelines, we can create a safer and more enjoyable community for everyone.

The MD’s bylaw imposes fines of $500 for violations, with repeat offences potentially resulting in fines of up to $1,000. To learn more about the current penalties for bylaw infractions, visit the Pet Ownership section of the website or go to mdlsr.ca/pets.
