Loose dogs remain a concern in the community

05/03/2016

The Kahnawà:ke Animal Protection Department of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke would like to remind the community that the number of loose dogs in the community is rising and remains a cause for concern.

As mating season begins, dogs are more likely to roam and can often become more aggressive when seeking a mate. Spaying or neutering your dog may help reduce roaming and aggression by preventing the dog from going into heat (spaying) and lessen its need to roam or become more aggressive (neutering).

In accordance with the Animal Control Law, all loose dogs that are picked up by Animal Protection will be released upon payment of the following boarding fees:

• $45 – first offence;
• $55 – second offence;
• $65 – third offence; and
• $15 per night.
