In the District of Port Edward, all dogs must be kept on a leash or within a fenced yard at all times to ensure the safety and well-being of both pets and residents. If a dog is found running at large, residents are encouraged to contact the District office for assistance.

The District Animal Pound, located at 100 Boundary Road, handles impounded dogs and applies the following fees:

• $50 basic fee (plus the appropriate license fee if the dog is unlicensed)
• Dogs held for longer than 24 hours incur an additional charge of $10 per 24-hour period
• For vicious dogs, as defined under Bylaw 298, there is a $200 basic fee, plus $10 for each 24-hour period the dog is held

These regulations are in place under Bylaw 519 - Animal Control, to help maintain public safety and responsible pet ownership within the community.
