Selectboard: owner to register loose dogs on Shover Road after New Year
Summary
Animal-control and health updates: Selectboard was told about reports of loose dogs on Shover Road; the owner has been contacted and is expected to register the animals after Jan. 1, 2026. The board also clarified that Health Officer duties focus on public-health hazards.
During the Animal Control update, Health Officer Faye Cochran told the Selectboard she had received multiple calls about loose dogs on Shover Road and that she had spoken with the dogs' owner. According to the minutes, the owner is expected to register the animals after the first of the year.
In a related Health Officer update the board clarified that Cochran's responsibilities are limited to public-health hazards. The record indicates the town will rely on the existing health-hazard authority rather than broader animal-control enforcement for this matter.
