Township of South-West Oxford is committed to creating a pet-friendly community where responsible owners and pets help keep our community clean and safe.
As per our Animal Care and Control By-law 76-2017, make sure:
- your dog doesn't run at large
- you clean up after your dog
- your dog doesn't bark or howl enough to disturb your neighbours (Noise By-Law 49-2021)
Animal Control Services
The Township’s Animal Control services are contracted out to a third party. To report a lost, missing or found dog, please contact Hillside Kennels: 519-469-3247.
Animal control services will only pick up sick or injured wildlife (racoons, rodents, birds, etc.) on Township property. If the animal is on private property, please contact a local wildlife rescue organization for assistance. Please do not call 9-1-1 as the OPP does not respond to sick or injured wildlife.
