PET LICENSING INFO
Fairhope law requires that all dogs be licensed as a rabies control measure. Making sure your dog has its current license attached to its collar also is your best insurance of having your dog returned to you in case he or she becomes lost or gets out of your yard. Even if your dog never leaves your home or yard, it is still required by law. The dog license also lets us know if your pet is currently vaccinated against rabies. The money received from dog license fees helps the department continue to provide quality animal care and control services every day of the year.
The fee for a dog license is $1.75 payable to The City of Fairhope. Proof of a current rabies vaccination certificate is required. You can purchase your dog license at Fairhope City Hall. For more information contact 251-929-0354.

What can people do to reduce this "pet over-population"?
Have your veterinarian spay or neuter your own pets so that they can not produce more puppies or kittens. Every birth adds to the problem of pet over-population. Also encourage everyone you know to have their pets spayed or neutered.

Is there a leash law in Fairhope?
Yes - Anytime a dog is not confined to its owner's property it must be on a leash not longer than six feet and under control. Also Fairhope has a "pooper-scooper" law. If your dog or cat "does its business" on public or private property you must clean it up promptly and dispose of it in a sanitary manner.
