York County Animal Control would like to take this opportunity to provide you with tips on being a good pet owner.

Remember to always provide your pets with:

• Adequate food and water
• Adequate shelter
• Adequate space in the home for the animal, which varies depending upon age, size and weig
• Veterinary care when needed to prevent suffering
• Humane care and treatment

In York County, dogs and cats are also required to get a yearly rabies vaccine. Dogs must be fenced in, kept on a leash or under the control of their owners at all times when outside. It is also illegal for animals to stray onto other private property without the property owner's consent.

If you need any assistance with a pet, call Animal Control at 628-3190.
