The Eloy City Code states, “No person shall allow their dog or pet to go off of the property of the owner or to go upon any public street, sidewalk, public park, or thoroughfare unless restrained by a leash not more than six feet in length.”

In addition, all dogs and cats residing in the city must have a current rabies vaccination.  All dogs that are 4 months of age and older need to be wearing a city tag.

Eloy Animal Control holds a low cost rabies vaccination clinic early each year, usually in February. Check your local newspaper for date, time, and costs. Licenses are offered at this time; however, they may be purchased year-round at the Finance Department after proof a vaccination has been submitted.

Remember you are your pet’s best friend so be sure that your pet has proper identification (a city license) so it can be safely returned to you in the event it becomes lost. Pets without a license will only be held at the shelter for 72 hours. Tragically animals not claimed in that time frame are generally euthanized.
