Roaming
Dogs or Cats
In
any of the municipalities above no one is permitted to allow their
dog and in some cases cat to roam free. Residents must keep their
pets leashed and under control when ever venturing off their own property.
Every
Citizen has the right to report or confine a stray animal and have
it impounded by Animal Control.
The
owner of any seized pet is liable for all fees associated with the
impound.

Dog
Or Cat Bites:
These
calls are given priority, as public safety is our priority. It is
an offence under the City's Animal Control By-law to allow your pet
to bite or attack a person or another animal. You may be charged,
and a muzzle or leashing order may be issued.
If
someone has been bitten by an animal it is important to have them
consult a physician immediately then notify the Sudbury & District
Health Unit by calling (705) 522-9200.
Also
report the incident to Greater Sudbury Animal Control & Shelter
Services, as the animal will be required to undergo a mandatory 10
day quarantine period to eliminate the possibility of rabies transmission.
Residents
may surrender these pets for euthanasia at a fee of $120. + HST for
dogs and $60. + HST for cats. In addition, residents may choose to
use our quarantine facilities at a rate of $15. per day.

Barking
Dogs:
Barking
dogs can cause a lot of aggravation for residents. We investigate
all barking dog complaints during regular hours. The first step is
a warning and thorough consultation with the problem pet owner in
order for them to learn to change their habits. Fines of up to $5000
can be levied against persons who continue to allow or permit an animal
to disturb the peace quiet and repose of any individual.
Stoop
and Scoop
Make
it a habit to pick up after your pet!
To
protect citizens and other pets from disease and to keep our municipalities
clean and beautiful, all pet owners are required to follow stoop and
scoop practices, even on our own property! A big part of being a responsible
pet owner is dealing with your pet's waste.
Failure
to pick up after your pet (including on your own property) is an offence
and could result in a fine of up to $5,000.
