North Andover Animal Control: Who Let The Dogs Out?

North Andover Animal Control has seen an uptick in the number of loose dogs it has picked up this summer.

NORTH ANDOVER, MA -- Animal Control officers in North Andover say they have picked up 13 dogs since May 2. In a series of social media posts Thursday, the department urged residents to make sure they keep their dogs on leash and to make sure dog licenses are up to date so they can reunite dogs and their owners quicker.

Dog license applications are available on the Town Clerk's Website. Dogs six months and older need to be licensed annually. The fee is $20.
