🐾 DOG REGISTRATION REMINDER 🐾
If you have a dog here in Lyons, this is your friendly reminder to make sure your furry friend is registered with the City!🐶

Under City Code 4-122, all dogs over 3 months of age that are owned or kept within the City of Lyons are required to be registered annually.

📍 Where do I register?
Dog registrations are completed at Lyons City Hall.

💰 Registration Fees:
• Spayed/Neutered: $5 if registered before March 31st
• Not Spayed/Neutered: $20 if registered before March 31st
• Spayed/Neutered: $35 if registered after March 31st
• Not Spayed/Neutered: $70 if registered after March 31st

🏠 New to Lyons or just got a new dog?
You have 30 days after moving into the City or acquiring a new dog to get them registered.

📋 What will you need?
When registering your dog, you will need:
• Your name and address;
• Your dog's name, s*x, and description;
• A current rabies vaccination certificate, and;
• If your dog is spayed or neutered, documentation from your veterinarian verifying the procedure.

Once your dog is registered, the City will provide a registration tag, which should be attached to your dog's collar.

Dog registration helps the City maintain accurate records and can also help get your dog home if they ever get loose and are found by someone in the community.

🚨KNOW THE SIGNS. KNOW WHAT TO DO. SAVE A LIFE.

An overdose can happen quickly. Would you know what to do if you found someone who could not be awakened or was not breathing normally?

The Lyons Police Department is sharing this Overdose First Aid information from Addicted.org to help our community recognize the warning signs of a possible overdose and understand what to do in those critical first few minutes.

⚠️ Signs of a Possible Overdose

Someone experiencing an overdose may:

• Be unable to wake up or respond
• Have slow, shallow, or stopped breathing
• Make gurgling, choking, or unusual snoring sounds
• Have blue or purple lips or fingernails
• Have very small, pinpoint pupils that do not respond to light
📞 If You Suspect an Overdose

1️⃣ CALL 911

Give your exact location and follow the dispatcher's instructions.

2️⃣ GIVE NALOXONE (NARCAN), IF AVAILABLE

If you have naloxone available, administer it according to the product instructions. If there is no response, another dose may be necessary after 2–3 minutes.

3️⃣ CHECK THEIR BREATHING

If the person is not breathing normally, follow the emergency dispatcher's instructions and provide rescue breathing or CPR if you are able.

If the person is breathing but unconscious, place them in the recovery position and continue monitoring them.

4️⃣ DON'T LEAVE JUST BECAUSE THEY WAKE UP

Naloxone is temporary, and overdose symptoms can return after someone appears to be okay. Medical attention is still needed.

If they're breathing but unconscious, place them on their side. Continue monitoring them until EMS arrives.

❤️ WHEN IN DOUBT, TREAT IT AS AN OVERDOSE AND CALL 911.

Knowing what to do during the first few minutes of an overdose could save someone's life.

The Lyons Police Department encourages everyone to save this post, share it with your family and friends, and take a few minutes to learn these steps.

📌 Share this information. You never know when someone may need it.

Educational information provided using the Overdose First Aid Guide from Addicted.org. This information is intended for educational purposes. In an emergency, call 911 and follow the instructions of the emergency dispatcher.
