The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen has made changes to the Dog Control Services.
Mark Pendergraft, chair of the RDOS said they are committed to meeting public needs through the development and implementation of key services and has entered into a partnership with K-9 Control Services to provide dog control in rural Osoyoos, Cawston and the Lower Similkameen, rural Oliver, Okanagan Falls/Kaleden area, Apex, Naramata, rural Summerland, rural Keremeos, Hedley and Olalla.
The RDOS encourages all citizens to ensure their dog is not roaming unsupervised at any time. Yearly dog licenses are now due and can be purchased at the following locations: Hedley Country Store, Village of Keremeos, Naramata Store, Heritage Market, Oliver True Building Center, Osoyoos Home Hardware, Penticton RDOS, Penticton SPCA, City of Penticton Animal Shelter and the Summerland Animal Clinic.
“Licence fees will increase marginally in April/May so we encourage you to take advantage of the lower fee and purchase a licence for your dog(s) soon at current prices,” said Pendergraft.
Citizens may file complaints with K-9 Control directly by calling 250-490-4113 or online at www.dogcontrol.ca/rdos.
