Please remember that all dogs and cats in the City of
Elroy must be
licensed. To avoid paying a $5.00 late fee, all dogs and cats must be
licensed by April 1st. To license your dog or cat you need to bring in
the
current certificate of vaccination from your veterinarian. (Rabies
vaccinations are required for any dog or cat over 4 months of age.) You
will also need to show proof of $100,000 liability insurance. If the
owner
of the property where the animal is kept is not the owner of the animal,
the
property owner must give written permission to the animal owner to keep
this
animal, and the property owner must show proof of liability insurance in
the
same amount required of the owner of the animal. The cost of a license is
$8.00 for a dog or cat that is not spayed or neutered. A license for a
dog
or cat that is spayed or neutered is $3.00. Also, no person or family
shall
own, harbor, or keep more than two dogs and two cats except for a litter
of
puppies or kittens which may be kept for not more than ten weeks from
their
birth. Owners having three dogs and cats registered with the City of
Elroy
before June 20, 2002, may continue to keep such animals. However, animals
exceeding the prescribed limits shall not be replaced. Authorized kennels
are also exempt from this limit. If you have any questions, please call
City Hall at 462-2400. Licensing enables us to quickly reunite a lost
animal with its owner.
