Anyone know who this older Lab belongs to? No collar and running loose in town. He’s a friendly thing!

McIntosh residents, who do these dogs belong to? They are wandering the alley by the water tower. They’re growling, barking, and chasing residents. The Sheriff’s office has been called.

Another reminder to keep your dogs from running loose.

Anyone who allows their dog to run at large will be guilty of a misdemeanor. Dogs must be on a leash and accompanied by a responsible person, so as to be effectively restrained by command as by leash. All dogs over the age of six months kept, harbored, or maintained by their owners in the city, shall be licensed and registered with the city.
If you have not registered your pets, please do so by stopping by the City Clerk’s office. Dogs $5.00/each Cats $2.00/each. Thank you.
