Leash laws

Always keep your dog or cat properly confined or supervised. Our community has leash laws.

Dogs: Are required by law to be kept confined to your property or to be on a leash when off your property. A verbal command law is also part of the Town of Sharon by-laws.

Please note that verbal command over your dog instead of a leash is not recommended. A leash is a way to keep your dog from running into the street, chasing other animals and allowing you to keep careful watch over your dog.

In addition to the basics -- food, water, shelter, and veterinary care -- make sure to give your pets lots of love and attention.
