Animal ControlOur animal control officer (ACO) is Joe Murphy. You may contact him through the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department at 945-4636.
A town's ACO deals primarily with domestic animal complaints - strays, lost animals, bites, etc. Issues dealing with wild animals should be addressed to the game warden, which you can contact through the State Police at 866-2121. If you suspect somebody of neglect and/or cruelty, please contact the Sheriff's Department at 945-4636 (they will get in touch with our ACO) or contact the Department of Animal Welfare at 287-3846. If you think a farm animal (horse, goat, cow, chicken(s), etc.) is being neglected or if you have a complaint about them, please call the Department of Agriculture Animal Welfare Division at the above number.
Rules related to dogs:Dogs over 6 months of age must be licensed with the town. Licenses renew annually in December. Fees are $ 6 for altered animals & $ 11 for unaltered animals. Late fees are assessed after January 31st. Proof of current rabies vaccination is required to license your dog. Milford has a noise ordinance which addresses the issue of barking dogs. Citations may be issued if your dog's barking becomes a nuisance. Please clean up after your dog while out walking. Dog feces placed into or allowed to drain into the storm water system flow directly to the Penobscot River - which creates bacterial contamination. Dog feces left in the area of Chaisson Field exposes student athletes to these bacterial contaminants. - Dogs are not allowed to roam. Please maintain control of your animal - keeping them on your property with training, a leash, fence, or kennel. If you are walking your pet, they must be under your control at all times using a leash or voice command.
The Town uses Carson Animal Shelter (CAS) to hold stray animals; CAS does not accept owner surrendered animals. If you have a pet that is missing, please contact CAS at 852-8613. Want a new pet or find that you can no longer care for your "old friend"? Contact the Bangor Humane Society at 942-8902 or visit their website for more information. |
