Stray Dogs Are Taken to Broome County Humane Society

IMPORTANT!!
If the Dog Control Officer picks up your dog and it has no ID and is not licensed, it will be taken directly to the Broome County Humane Society.  In order to retrieve your dog, you’ll not only have the fees of licensing your dog and getting a rabies vaccination (if your dog doesn’t have one), you’ll also be charged an additional $50 seizure fee from the Town and another $50 fee for sheltering your dog at the Humane Society.  So, be sure to license your dog to avoid the extra $50 Town seizure fee.
