GLENDORA >> Animal control officials have begun going to go door-to-door throughout Glendora to check that pet dogs are properly licensed, officials said.
The Inland Valley Humane Society’s neighborhood canvassing campaign will take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and should be completed in November, Glendora police officials said in a written statement.
California law and local ordinances require all dogs more than 4 months old to be vaccinated against rabies and licensed, according to the police statement.
“In addition to ensuring that pets are protected and free from rabies, licensing also assists in the return of lost or stray dogs to their owners, and the revenue helps to offset the cost of providing animal control services to Glendora,” the police statement said. “IVHS staff conducting the canvassing will be wearing a distinctive uniform consisting of a blue polo shirt with the IVHS logo, Navy-colored slacks or shorts and will have an IVHS badge and identification card.”
Glendora residents are encouraged to ensure their dog licenses are up-to-date ahead of a visit from the IVHC. Owners found out of compliance will be cited, resulting in an additional fine and a requirement that the animals be licensed within five days.
