The Local Law concerning dogs provides that all dogs must receive rabies shots and be legally licensed by the age of four months. An owner must leash his dog if off the property and the dog must be under the control of a responsible person.

Loud or incessant barking is considered a nuisance. Harrassment by a dog is also a violation.

All dogs must have adequate shelter, food and water. Female dogs in heat must be confined in a protective enclosure on the confines of the owner.

The enforcement of the local law is achieved though the observation of the violation by the authorities or through the deposition on the complaint before the Dog Officer and Town Justice.

Dog bites must be reported to the Dog Control Officer because of the danger of rabies.
