- In the event that a dog owner pays the fee for an unaltered dog and provides documentation that the dog has been spayed or neutered within 30 days of the purchase of the licence.

All Notifications of Renewal for Licences are a Courtesy Only
Failure to receive a licence renewal notice or any other notification does not exempt any dog or Vietnemese Pot Bellied pig owner from their legal requirement to maintain a valid licence for their animal.
Compliance with the Law
All owners are required to be in compliance with all federal, provincial, and municipal legislation and laws. Issuance of a licence does not give permission or consent to be in non-compliance.
Veterinarian Expenses
While your animal is in the care of the City of Hamilton Animal Control, staff will make every effort to ensure its saftey and health care. It may be necessary for a Veterinarian to examine and/or treat your animal. You as the owner are responsible for any expenses incurred by the City of Hamilton Animal Control.
Ontario Rabies Immunization Regulation 567
Ontario Rabies Immunization Regulation 567 under the Health Protection and Promotion Act requires every owner in the City of Hamilton having the care and custody of a cat or dog three (3) months of age or older shall ensure that the animal is immunized against rabies.
