Strays – Strays are picked up by the Animal Control Officer and taken to the animal shelter, a veterinarian (if injured), or disposed of if they have died.
Missing Animals – Animal Control is committed to returning dogs and cats to their owners. Animals picked up that do not have license tags identifying them, or those with missing collars, are taken to the shelter. Any dog or cat found should be reported to the Township so we can attempt to return the animal to its owner.
Leaving food and water out for animals can attract unwanted wildlife and insects. If a cat or dog is being fed, it’s presumed to be owned by whomever is feeding it after a period of fifteen days.
If your metal dog tag is misplaced, you may obtain a replacement tag for $1.00. A request for a replacement tag must be made in writing to the Dog Licensing Officer.
Please notify the Dog Licensing Officer if a dog previously licensed has died or is no longer housed in Oldmans Township.
Any household who has six (6) dogs or more housed on their property shall be deemed to operate a kennel, pet shop, shelter or pound and must procure a Kennel License from the Dog Licensing Officer and Salem County Dept. of Health. The annual Kennel License fee for ten (10) or fewer dogs is $200.00.
