Animal Control
Dog Tag Sales for 2010
There will be a new method for dog owners to obtain their 2010 dog tags.
In past years, tags were sold by a dog licensing officer who went door-to-door selling tags.
For many good reasons, Council has chosen to offer dog tags for sale through various locations in
the Township. Tags will be available for sale at a cost of $20.00 per tag at the following locations:
Hickson:
Township Office, 90 Loveys St. E.
Innerkip:
Corner Farm Market, 206 Blandford St.
Tavistock:
Yantzi’s Feed & Seed, 65 Woodstock St. N.
Zehr’s Home Hardware, 24 Woodstock St. S.
Tags will be available for sale January 2, 2010 and must be purchased by March 31, 2010.
The proceeds from the purchase of dog tags help fund the cost of animal collection services,
and the use of tags assists Township staff in contacting the owners of lost dogs.
Coyote Control Information
In
response to inquiries about the increased presence of coyotes within the County
of Oxford, an information package has been developed for all residents. Although
the main focus is towards rural properties, there are also some tips for urban
homeowners and how to ensure that your property is not attracting this type of
wildlife.
This package includes valuable information on behavioral patterns of coyotes and
how to protect livestock against them. Also included is local contact
information for two organizations, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and
the Ontario Fur Managers Federation. Both of these groups can be very helpful
for property owners that will allow hunting and/or trapping on their land. This
document is available from the following link and from the
Township office.
