Dog owners who wait until after March 1 to purchase a tag will be subject to an additional $10.00 late charge.
Dog owners could risk being fined $240.00 for failing to purchase a tag.
Also, a reminder regarding poop and scoop – be a good neighbour and pick up after your pets. Dog owners who do not pick up excrement and dispose of it in a sanitary manner could be subject to a $240.00 fine.
