Message from the Dog Control Officer:
If you own a dog, I strongly recommend that you invest time to learn basic first aid and common medical emergencies for dogs. Also, know who you can contact for a medical emergency. Put this number on your phone and know where your closest emergency care facility is.
Please do not leave your pets outside unattended when you are not home. There is no way for you to protect them if you aren’t there ! They escape, bark, and have wild animals enter their areas.
I would like to urge residents to keep their dogs physically contained while outdoors and to not leave dogs outside unattended when you are not home.
As we know birdfeeders and garbage cans are a source of food for hungry bears, so please use caution as we enter and leave our houses that we are aware of our surroundings. Most bear-inflicted injuries are because of humans accidentally walking too close to a bear or bear cubs.
