The Town of Hanna requires that all dog owners obtain an annual Dog License(s) for any dogs in their care or possession. Having a dog tag is beneficial for both the Town and the pet owner. These tags aid the authorities in quickly identifying an animal for return to its owner when it is lost and found wandering the streets of our community by either the Animal Control Officer or concerned citizens. The Town understands that from time to time pets do inadvertently get out of their owners yard by various means. This can be dangerous for both the pet and innocent bystanders. The dog tag identification allows for quick and safe return of the animal - usually without associated fines (depending on the mitigating circumstances).
Dogs found without licenses and tags are captured and put into the pound. The Animal Control Officer will make every attempt to find the owner. If the owner is found or contacts the Town to claim the animal, associated pound fees and possible fines will have to be paid in order to have the animal released from the pound, if negligence on behalf of the owner is found to be the cause of the dog running at large and being unlicensed.
Stray Dogs found without license and tags are captured and also put into the pound. If no one claims the animal, the Animal Control Officer will make an attempt to find the owner. If no owner is found within a reasonable time frame the Town has several options available to deal with the animal (see Animal Control Bylaw # 808), including finding a new home for the dog or even having it put down if it is determined that the dog is unsuitable for placement with a new owner. The Town works closely with the local Hanna SPCA to find homes for stray animals.
Dog Licenses come up for renewal on January 1st of each year. Notices of renewal are sent to each registered license holder at the beginning of the year as a friendly reminder, however the onus to purchase a license remains with all dog owners with in the Town limits.
