The Listuguj Public Safety and Bylaw Enforcement would like to remind the public that in the next few months, dogs who are not neutered and are in a reproductive or heat cycle, may become vicious and roam in packs making it very dangerous to the public. If you own a dog who is not neutered or spayed, please keep your dog tied or in an enclosed area.

As a pet owner, if you fail to do this, your dog could be picked up and taken to the SPCA, or if deemed vicious and bites, or attacks a person, child, or another pet, your dog may be euthanized as stated on the Listuguj Dog Bylaw No. 2003-01. (You can read this bylaw on the LMG website: https://listuguj.ca/laws/) You can also be criminally charged with Criminal Negligence if your dog bites or attacks a person or pet.

Please have your pets spayed or neutered and tied at all times. We have already received several calls and complaints from the public.

FACT: Un-neutered males are involved in 70-76 % of dog bite incidents. Un-spayed females encourage roaming and aggressive behaviour in males, regardless of breed.

For more information, please contact the Listuguj Bylaw Enforcement office at 506-987-4524.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
