  1. Keep YOUR pet confined to YOUR property.  Either by fence, rope, chain, kennel or on a leash.

  2. Have your animals vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian. This will prevent your pet from becoming infected with deadly and contagious disease.

  3. SPAY or NEUTER YOUR PETS. Prevention is the key to reducing the number of unwanted pets.

  4. Provide your animal with adequate food, water and shelter.  Shelter is defined as:

    • At least 3-sides, a roof and a floor raised off the ground at least 2 inches.

  5. Confine female pets when in heat.

  6. Clean up after your pet. Pet feces are responsible for spreading disease and infection to other neighboring animals.

  7. Put identification and rabies tags on your pets.  This will help identify your pet in case of injury or loss.

  8. Educate children to stay away from all stray animals and to notify their parents, teacher or adult when a stray animal appears.

  9. Report all stray animals to your local Animal Control Unit.
