Eden Selectboard signs dog ordinance after abandoned dog placed in 10-day quarantine
Summary
The Eden Selectboard signed a dog ordinance and was informed an abandoned dog taken to NCAL is on a 10-day quarantine; the owner has not responded and the dog may be surrendered for rehoming after the quarantine.
The Eden Selectboard signed a town dog ordinance at its Nov. 25, 2025 meeting after a brief animal-control update that reported an abandoned dog taken to NCAL. Ricky Morin moved to sign the ordinance "as written," and Clayton Whittemore seconded; the motion passed and the ordinance was executed at the meeting.
Assistant Town Clerk Molly Morin told the board that the abandoned animal was placed on a 10-day quarantine at NCAL and that the dog officer had contacted the owner with no response. The clerk said the officer will wait the 10 days before moving forward with surrendering the animal to NCAL for rehoming. The board took the administrative action to adopt the ordinance at the same meeting, formalizing local rules governing dogs.
The action followed routine business and will be recorded in the town files; the minutes show no public comment on the ordinance at the meeting. No enforcement actions or fines were specified at the meeting; follow-up and enforcement procedures were not detailed.
