A telephone call from Animal Control is all it takes to reunite lost or strayed pets with their owners - provided those pets have been licensed and are wearing tags. All dogs must be licensed, as must all outdoor cats. Owners must show proof of a current rabies inoculation before a license will be issued. The annual license fee of $13 is reduced to $10 for a spayed or neutered animal.
Village ordinance limits the number of animals on private premises as follows:
- Single-family residences, townhomes, buildings or lots: Three dogs and/or two
cats that run at-large, or four cats that are kept indoors. No more than 10 of a
combination of all types of permitted animals.
- Single units of two- or three-flat residential dwellings: Two dogs and/or cats
that run at-large, or two cats that are kept indoors. No more than five of a
combination of all types of permitted animals.
- Multi-family residential building containing four or more dwelling units: One
dog and/or cat that run at-large, or two cats that are kept indoors. No more
than five of a combination of all types of permitted animals.
- Prohibited animals: Generally, pigs, swine, sheep, cattle, horses, goats or
similar animals; naturally wild animals except fish and birds; no more than
one pigeon or two rabbits, two guinea pigs, two gerbils or two fowl.
