Dog Control

 

What is the function of Dog Control?

Dog Control is a form of Bylaw Enforcement. The CSRD provides Dog Control Service within the Ranchero area of Electoral Area 'D' (click here for a map) and within all of Electoral Area 'C' (click here for a map) by appointing a Dog Control Officer. (click here for a map of CSRD Areas)

Dog Control allows you to:
  • Obtain a dog license (fees listed below)
  • Report a stray, found or missing dog
  • Report any dog that is dagerous, unlicensed, unwanted or improperly controlled
    • Who is the current Dog Control Officer?
    The Board of Directors at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (the 'CSRD') has appointed K-9 Control as the Dog Control Officer. Any RCMP Officer can act as a Dog Control Officer as well.

    Phone 1-877-379-2821 or visit     dogcontrol.ca to report stray, dangerous, unwanted, improperly controlled or unlicensed dogs within Ranchero or Electoral Area 'C'.

    • Current Bylaws

    The purpose of a Dog Control Bylaw is to enhance our communities by respecting the rights of our neighbours. Dog Control Bylaws ensure that dogs are not causing bad feelings or problems. Aggressive dogs, barking dogs, or roaming dogs need to be addressed so that everyone can feel safe and happy in our neighbourhoods.

    The Dog Regulation and Impounding Bylaw No. 5388 amended by Bylaw No. 5603 explains in detail the Dog Regulation and Impounding Bylaw. The Bylaw includes definitions, schedules of fees and detailed descriptions of the role of the Dog Control Officer, and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

    The CSRD Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw No. 5296 amended by Bylaw No. 5602 and Bylaw No. 5605 describes in detail the Municipal Ticketing Information System and includes a detailed Fee Schedule (Schedule 2 in Bylaw No. 5605).

     

    Proposed Dog Control in the Community of Falkland



    The CSRD held an informative meeting at the Falkland Community Hall on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 to hear from the community on their interest in the provision of dog control service for Falkland and area. This meeting was very well attended and the majority of persons opposed dog control for the Falkland Community. As a result, the CSRD will not proceed with this initiative any further. Read more here.
