Dog Law Update Explained

The Peru Town Board has proposed updating the Town’s Dog Control Law.  Town Supervisor Peter Glushko explained that the changes being proposed are concentrated in Section 17 of the law. Mr. Glushko stated, “We clarified the requirement for dog owners to pay all vet bills incurred by the Town before they can reclaim their dog from the shelter. That requirement used to be spelled out in our contract with Elmore SPCA before all the changes they required before contracting with us.” Glushko said NYS law requires that the Town provide stabilizing vet care to any dog picked up with medical issues.  He concluded, ” Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay vet bills because of violations of the leash law.'”

The Town Board’s public hearing will be held on Monday September 14, 2015 at 6:30 PM before its regular meeting.
