๐พ MISSION PAWSIBLE โ EXUMA! ๐พ
Animal Control is coming to Exuma, and the Animal Protection and Control Act will be enforced by the government.
September is now an AMNESTY MONTH for Mission PAWSIBLE, giving dog owners an opportunity to get their dogs licensed before enforcement and fines begin. Please donโt risk a $250 fine - that money would be better spent taking care of your pet!
๐ READ THE ACT:
Official Bahamas Animal Protection and Control Actโ ๏ฟผ
๐ถ PLEASE GET YOUR DOG LICENSED!
Applications may be made at:
๐ Department of Agriculture
Farmers Hill, Exuma
OR
๐ Humane Society Exuma
Rear of Darville La Familia Plaza in Hoopers Bay, near Road Traffic.
The Humane Society Exuma is happy to work together with the Department of Agriculture to collect your application and send it to them for processing. It is free during the amnesty month of September.
๐ FREE MICROCHIP!
The Humane Society Exuma will provide a FREE microchip to anyone who:
๐พ Schedules an appointment to see Dr. Smith, OR
๐พ Simply stops by the Humane Society Exuma to fill out the Animal Registration License Form.
Microchipping is an important part of responsible pet ownership and can help reunite lost dogs with their families.
โ ๏ธ FINES WILL BE ENFORCED!
Check the comments for a list of some of the most common fines and requirements that are now going to be enforced.
Donโt wait until enforcement begins. Use September to get your dogs licensed, microchipped and into compliance!
