The Council realizes that if not properly treated and controlled a dog may become a nuisance and a hazard to persons and property. One way the City controls dogs is through licensing. The City limits two dogs per residence. Three or more dogs requires a conditional use permit for a kennel license. Call (612) 427 -1410 and ask for the Zoning Administrator for additional information on kennel license. The City Code requires all dogs to be licensed. Licenses are available, for a fee, from the City upon proof of rabies vaccination (required once in every 24 -month period and prior to the age of six months). Licenses are for a two -year period. The City of Ramsey sponsors a pet clinic, provided vendors are available, in late April of each year. At that time, dog licenses are offered at a reduced rate. An owner or keeper of a dog must require the dog to be under the control and in custody of a person of sufficient age to adequately control the dog at all times while the dog is off he premises of the owner. The owner of a dog found running at large is guilty of a misdemeanor. Remember to take a scoop along when walking your dog! Section 5.09.03, Subd. 19 requires any person who owns or has custody of a dog to clean up dog excrement and place it in the proper receptacle. To protect citizens, no person may keep a dog that howls, yelps or barks to the reasonable annoyance of another person. The City's Animal Control Officer may request the person to stop or prevent the annoyance, and if they refuse to comply, a citation will be issued. If the officer needs to stop they annoyance, the dog may be taken to the City Animal Pound. Any dog placed in the pound may be reclaimed by the owner upon payment of the impoundment fee, plus boarding fee.
