Stowe Animal Ordinances in Brief - Dogs must be under CONTROL at all times. Dogs must be on a LEASH in the following designated areas:
Stowe Recreation Path, any public parking lot, Memorial Park, and Cemetery Road. Dogs are NOT allowed in public
cemeteries.
- All dogs over the
age of 6 months must be currently licensed and be wearing the tag issued by the town clerk.
- Owners are responsible for immediate
and proper removal of their dog’s feces from any property other than their own.
- Animal bites to any person or domestic animal or attempted bites should be reported immediately to
the Animal Control Officer or Health Officer.
- Dogs
left out of doors must be under control, have adequate shelter for weather conditions, and have water available to them.
- It is unlawful to leave an animal unattended in a standing
or parked car in a manner that would endanger the health or safety of the animal. Even on a moderately
warm day, in just minutes a car becomes an oven even with the windows cracked open. Pets can suffer
from serious conditions such as heat stroke, brain damage, or even death when left in a hot car. If you
see a dog suffering in a hot car call Animal Control or the police immediately!
- If you see any strange acting raccoons, skunks, ravens, or other wildlife, contact Fish
