 "A lifetime license currently costs $22.50 for a spayed/neutered dog, and $32.50 for an unaltered dog."
 
Boy, I wonder whose job it is to check which dogs are charged $22.50 and which dogs are charged $32.50. :P 
 
The things the Police Department does for you is truly amazing!
 
Your Friend,

PRESS RELEASE
 
November 23, 2009
Dogs make great companions and can bring a lot of happiness to our lives.  However, as dog owners it is important that we make sure that we (and our dogs) follow some basic rules to ensure that we are being good neighbors. 
If your dog is off your property you must have your dog on a leash that is not greater than eight (8) feet in length.  If it is not leashed when it is off your property your dog is considered “at large”, which is a violation of City of Moscow ordinance MCC 10-5-5.  This at large ordinance includes the many city parks (except the dog park located on White Avenue ), the walking/bicycling paths, and the Farmer’s Market area.  There are many people who are not comfortable around dogs, especially ones they do not know, and do not appreciate being ‘greeted’ by a dog.  Being off-leash can also lead to dangerous situations for your dog and for other people.  Please leash your dog when you take it off your property.   
Do not tie your dog in a public place and leave it unattended.  Tethering your pet in public is a violation of MCC 10-5-5 and can lead to it being impounded.  Dogs can be nervous and upset when left in a public area..  They may not be as friendly in those situations as they are when you are with them.  This causes a problem for other people who are using the same public areas as you.  It also puts your dog at risk.  Keep everyone safe-keep your dog with you when in public.  Protect your dog by utilizing a leash as well as keeping your dog away from others unless invited. 
Being a responsible pet owner also means cleaning up after your dog in a public place.  This is not only required by MCC 10-5-12, it is also part of being a good neighbor. 
If you haven’t done so already, please remember to license your dogs.  A lifetime license currently costs $22.50 for a spayed/neutered dog, and $32.50 for an unaltered dog.  Dog licenses can be purchased at either the Humane Society of the Palouse or at the Moscow Police Department..
DANIEL L. WEAVER                                                                        Prepared by: 
            Chief of Police                                                                          A.C. David Duke
Following these rules will not only help keep you, your dog, and others safe, but will also help your dog be a welcome member of our community!
