The Dog Control Officer is responsible for enforcing the Town of Hamptonburgh's dog control ordinances and NYS Agriculture & Markets regulations for dogs.

New York State law requires all dogs over four months be licensed and vaccinated against rabies. Licenses are obtained at the Town Clerk's Office.

While the Town does not have a leash law, Town legislation prohibits dogs from leaving their owner's property unless under the supervision of the owner.

The Town contracts with Walden Humane Society for holding of dogs found without licenses. If your dog becomes lost, report the loss on the dog control line and to the Humane Society at 778-5115.
