## How it works

[Animal Control and Impoundment Bylaw 893](<https://loganlake.civicweb.net/document/4088/>) allows no more than three dogs over the age of 12 weeks on any property in Logan Lake. Puppies under 12 weeks are not counted. The bylaw lists cats among the animals that may be kept but sets no number for them.

## Good to know

- Anyone giving temporary care to more than three dogs must notify the animal control officer with the number and species of animals, the reason and the estimated time.
- Commercial kennels and commercial stables are prohibited on any parcel.
- Elsewhere in town, only dogs, cats, small animals, small lizards, turtles and fish may be kept, plus hens under the hen rules (see the chickens answer).
- In the ER (Estate Residential) zone, parcels of 2 acres or more may keep at most 2 cattle or similar large animals per 2-acre parcel and at most 25 fowl, rabbits or other small fur-bearing animals.
- A ticket for four or more dogs on a parcel is $75. The District's web page words this as "three or more", which differs from the bylaw, so confirm with the Municipal Office.
- Contravening the ER-zone keeping-of-animals rules is also a $75 ticket.
