Pets

The Village's Animal Control Ordinance provides that no person may permit domestic animals to run at large in the Village or to disturb the peace. In addition, an animal's owner is responsible to clean up any excretion. The number of pets per household is also regulated.

The Village does not license cats or dogs; however, anyone who keeps a dog or cat within the Village limits must maintain a current county license and rabies inoculation tag for each animal.

A total of no more than four (4) total, dogs, cats, or other household domestic animals over four (4) months of age are permitted to reside in any household.

No person who harbors or is in charge of any dog, cat or other animal shall allow any dog, cat, or other animal to soil, defile, defecate on on any common thoroughfare, sidewalk, passageway, bypath or play area, in any place where people congregate or walk, or upon any public property whatsoever or upon any private property without the permission of the owner of said property, unless:

A. Removal Of Feces: The person who so curbs such dog, cat or other animal shall immediately remove all feces deposited by such dog, cat or other animal by any sanitary method.

B. Disposal Of Feces: The feces removed shall be disposed of by the person owning, harboring, keeping, or in charge of any dog, cat or other animal.
