Town of Stowe Municipal Ordinance Chapter 2 regarding Animal Control

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 and Wildlife, Animal Control at Stowe Police,  or the State Public Health office (1-800-640-4374).
