Dog License
By-law 2008-61 and amendment to 2008-61 requires that all residents who own a dog within the Township be registered annually and wear a tag. When you register your pet, you will receive a tag to attach to your pet's collar to identify your pet if it gets lost and to help you to find it.
Kennel License
By-law 2008-61 requires that any person applying for a kennel license must comply with the requirements of the Township's zoning by-law and building code. The kennel owner must obtain an annual license.

If the animal is found wearing a tag, we will attempt to contact the owner to reclaim the dog.
We do not have any by-laws regarding cats, however, for any information regarding feral cats you can contact by email friendsofferalcatshawkesbury@yahoo.ca or visit their Facebook.
If you have a feral animal problem on your property and you want to get rid of it, please contact our licensed trapper Denis Juillet at (613)557-1117 or (613)632-0166. You always have the option of borrowing a cage without fees from the Township to catch it.
