Dogs over four months old living within the City, must be licenced by the City of Rossland. Licencing your dog is one of the most important means of ensuring the safety of your pet. If your dog accidentally gets out of the yard, the licence allows the Animal Control Officer to identify your dog and get it back to you. Dog licences can be purchased at City Hall during regular office hours or online – choose ‘I Want To’…’Make a Payment’ from the top drop-down menu.
