Animals

Paws and laws

Pets bring with them immense pleasure and companionship to City residents and visitors. But animals involve responsibilities, too.

Adopt an animal and turn around an abandoned pet's life.

Be a responsible owner and desex your pet – you'll save money, too.

There are policies involving animal ownership and fines if some rules are broken.

Losing a pet can be a distressing experience. We do what we can to reunite you with each other.

Registration helps you keep track of your animal if it goes missing and lets the City know how many animals live in its jurisdiction.
