When owning a pet there are some important reminders to remember regarding Kindersley’s Animal Bylaw 03-18:
- Animals six months or older must be licensed YEARLY and can be done online or at the Administration Office. You will receive a tag for their collar and receipt of this transaction. (Sec. 6) Prices can be found on our Animal Control web page.
- There must NOT be more than FIVE animals in one single home or dwelling.
Cats and dogs in public must be on a leash at a length no more than 1.8 metres unless they are in a designated off-leash area such as the Senses Unleashed Dog Park (Dogs Only). (Sec. 11) - At NO time are cats and dogs allowed to be running at large (meaning they must be in control of owner at all times). (Sec. 11)
- The use of traps is at the resident’s own risk. If an animal is trapped the resident MUST call the Bylaw Enforcement Officer to arrange for pick up of the animal. Traps must be live capture traps. They must be checked every 4 hours in 6 to 30 degree weather, every 2 hours in -9 to -5 weather, and must not be used if temperature is above 30 or below -10. (Sec. 18)
- Pick-up and trapping can be arranged with Bylaw Enforcement Officer.
