Animal Control

The Animal Control and Dog Officer handles complaints regarding stray, abandoned, neglected, and problem dog issues.

Dog licenses are obtained from the Town Clerk. We have approximately one thousand dogs in North Brookfield. It is very important to keep the current license tag on your dog. The dog licensing is computerized and the current license number will allow for a quick resolve to any dog issues. Please license your dog.

Also please keep in mind that your dog must be under your control at all times. Many of the calls received pertain to dogs on other residents’ property and complaints of excessive barking. It is important to be considerate of your neighbors.

The dog kennel needs improvement. We continually have a problem with the water supply freezing and the heater needs to be replaced. Any donation to the dog gift fund would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks to all for the donations received at Hannafords. I look forward to your continued support. The plans for a new kennel are underway and I will be seeking funds in the upcoming year.

Animal Control can be paged in emergency through police dispatch.
