The Municipality of French River requires that all dog owners register and licence any dog(s) which have attained at least six (6) months of age. When a dog is properly licensed it will aid in quickly identifying an animal for return to its owner when it is lost and/or found wandering the streets of our community by either the By-Law Enforcement Officer or concerned citizens.
If a dog is not licensed, the dog owner is subject to a fine of $75.00 (plus victim fine surcharge and court costs) as per by-law 2014-17.
The By-Law Enforcement Officer may be contacted for the following situations:
- Dog(s) running at large
- Dog(s) becoming a public nuisance
- If a dog is lost or found
- Dangerous dogs
You can purchase your dog license(s) at 3 locations within the Municipality:
- Municipal Office
- Alban Public Library
- Noëlville Public Library
