MARATHON—Pet safety is of prime importance to pet owners, pet families and the Municipality of Marathon.
In a recent notice, residents were reminded to abide by Bylaw No. 1788 which mandates that, “No owner of a dog shall permit the dog to run at large in the town.”
According to the municipality, “Keeping your dog on a leash provides safety for other people, other animals and your own dog.”
Failure to abide by this could result in a fine of $150.
Should residents require further information they are encouraged to contact: Rebecca Merritt, Bylaw enforcement officer at: 229-1340 ext.2250.
