F - Animal
Q. My neighbour’s dog does its business in my yard. I have spoken to the dog’s owner and asked that they clean up after their dog when they take it for walks, but that has not worked. What else can I do?
A. Under the Control of Dogs section in By-Law F-7 Regarding Responsible Dog Ownership, no owner can allow their animal to defecate on any property in the municipality, which is not the property of the owner. The town contracts its Animal Control services to a third party, but the public can contact CAO Julie Stockford, and she will direct the inquiry accordingly. She can be reached at julie.stockford@townofhartland.com or 506-375-4357 ext. 200.
