Animal Control
Animal Control Services are for domestic animals in the Town of Smiths Falls and can be accessed by calling 613-812-8170. Occurences outside the Town limits are the responsibility of (North & East) Twp. of Montague; (West) Twp. Drummond North Elmsley or (South) Twp. Rideau Lakes.
Animal Control Officers respond to and investigate complaints that are related to the care and control of domestic animals, including dogs off leash, keeping of animals, nuisance barking, number of pets per household, registration and fees, stray cats and dogs, dog bites, prohibited animals, etc. If you can safely apprehend the animal they stand a better chance of surviving.

This includes inside dogs, dogs that never leave the property, dogs that are small etc. The fine for not being registered is $65.00 plus the cost of the tag. Officers will be canvassing all homes this year to check for tags. Avoid the $95.00 plus costs by getting your tag now.
