The Municipality has changed to a lifetime dog tag licence fee for $25.00. The goal of dog licensing is to ensure the Animal Control Officer can return stray dogs to their owners and not take them to the pound. Lifetime licenses will fulfill this goal without requiring staff time to update the dog license and owner data every year. For dog owners, this means that the dog license you buy will remain in effect for the life of your dog. If your dog’s tag is lost, you can purchase a replacement tag for $5.00.
Madawaska Valley Township requires all dogs within the municipality to be licensed and to wear tags. Failure to comply will result in a fine of $100 plus the purchase price of the tag. The Township of Madawaska Valley does not have an animal shelter. If you have lost your dog, contact the Animal Control Officer at 613-602-0604, or contact the Municipal Office. An unclaimed animal will be transported to Bonnechere Valley Kennel until an owner can be identified. All impound fees and retrieval costs associated with the animal are the owner’s responsibility. Fines and possibly additional penalties apply if your dog is picked up and does not have a dog tag.
Any concerns or complaints regarding dogs barking consistently or running at large should be made to the Animal Control Officer.
