Animal Control
Starting August 1, 1974, the City will be making some changes in its animal
control service. Effective August 1, the Metropolitan Animal Control Service, Inc. `
will become the City's animal control service. Patrolling of the City will be
supervised more closely through our Police Department. Also, an impounding fee
will be charged to the animal owner of $10 in addition to the boarding charges
required by the animal control service.
The Metropolitan Animal Control Service, Inc. will also be issuing violation
tags to owners of dogs and cats for violating our City ordinances, and this is
primarily the leash law and the requirement for a dog license. The animal control
service will also sell City dog licenses to dog owners of impounded dogs, which °
will be a requirement before release of the animal. The new animal control service
---vAW alsorovide 24-hour-dive answering rmg service for -all-con plaints-g'here--will—
also be a vehicle assigned to respond to calls on an emergency basis after hours.
It is the hope of our City staff that these improvements in our animal µ
control service will help eliminate some of the problems that are caused by stray
animals. It is also our intention in noting this in the newsletter to bring to the
attention of all our citizens to be a responsible dog owner.
All dogs over the age of six months are required to have a license, which is
$5 a year, and must be renewed by April 30 of each year. This license is required
whether the dog is confined to the owners premises or not.
A special message to cat owners—cats also cause problems in the neighbor-
hood by killing birds, dirtying sand boxes, biting, scratching and howling in the
evening. According to animal experts, cats do not need to go outdoors and can
live their entire lives inside, and in fact, are better off if they stay inside. A cat
that is allowed outdoors has a life expectancy of two years, whereas, a cat kept
in the house lives 12 to 18 years. Cat experts also state that cats are much :"i
better pets and less offensive to neighbors if they have been neutered or spayed.
Female cats do not need to have even one litter (and in most cases should not),
and males stray less.
As an animal owner, you know the companionship and pleasure an animal ANIMAL COMPLAINTS?
adds to your life. But there are many individuals who own dogs and cats who do Call
not realize or accept the responsibilities of ownership. Your dog or cat does not
have a sense of civic responsibility, so you have to have it for him. Put yourself Fridley Police Department
in your neighbor's place and try to imagine how your dogs' or cats' habits affect
