Animal Services

Pets are valued members of the family. In order to keep your pets safe, the Township of Bonfield promotes responsible pet ownership through a variety of animal services. 

Responsible Pet Ownership

The Township advocates responsible pet ownership based on the following five principles:

1. License and provide permanent identification for pets;
2. Spay or neuter pets;
3. Provide training, physical care, socialization and medical attention for companion pets;
4. Do not allow pets to become a threat or nuisance in the community;
5. Procure your pet ethically and from a creditable source.

Animal Control Services

The By-law Enforcement Department enforces the Animal Control By-law. The Township operates the Municipal Pound where dogs and cats are kept when found at large.
