Permits
Tags for dogs and cats
Owners of dogs or cats have certain responsibilities, and must be aware
of the following:
Maximum number of house pets
It is prohibited to keep, in one and the same dwelling, more than one dog,
cat or rabbit that has not been sterilized (neutered or spayed) or vaccinated,
unless the animal has just given birth. In such cases, the litter of puppies,
kittens or rabbits may be kept for no more than 90 days.
A tag for each pet
It is prohibited to keep a puppy or kitten of more than 90 days old without
registering it and obtaining a tag. A tag must be obtained within fifteen (15)
days of acquiring the animal or after the day when the animal reaches the age of
three (3) months, whichever time is longer. Aside from a microchipped cat (given
the fact that the information stored on the microchip makes it possible to check
the ID tag number issued for such cats), every dog and cat must always wear an
I.D. tag issued by the Borough.
Period of validity
These tags are valid January 1 – December 31 of each
year.
2012 rates:
Sterilized dog: $20
Unsterilized
dog: $50
Sterilized cat: Free
Unsterilized cat:
$25
Proof of sterilization must be submitted with the tag
application; otherwise, the "unsterilized" rate will be
applied.
There will be a $5 charge to replace a pet's lost or stolen tag, except in
the case of a seeing-eye (guide) dog for a visually-impaired owner.
Proof
that the tag is valid for the current year will need to be provided as
well.
There will be a $5 charge to transfer a pet's registration from one
Borough to the other.
Pet owners will be required to show proof that the tag
from the Borough that issued it is valid for the current year.
To apply for a tag for your pet, you may:
- Go to Bureau Accès Verdun (4555, rue de Verdun, suite
102), or
- Go to one of our partners, or
- Download the form from our website. Once completed, the
form may be brought to one of our community centres or to the Centre culturel.
Your application will be forwarded to the Bureau Accès Verdun through the
Borough's internal mail system.
Application forms
Once a tag has been issued, and within 30 days after any of the
following events have occurred, owners of dogs or cats must notify the Borough
of any address-related changes or if the pet has disappeared, died, been given
away or sold.
These tags are sold ONLY at the following
location:
