ANIMAL CONTROL
Within the city limits of Barnesville, all dogs and cats over the age of six months must display a city license tag. Licenses may be obtained at the Police Department Offices, City Hall, or from an Animal Control Officer. To obtain your pet's license, which is renewable annually, you must bring proof of de-sexing (if spayed or neutered) and proof of current rabies vaccination. Vaccination certificates can be obtained from your veterinarian. Cost of the licenses are $5.00 for de-sexed pets and $10.00 for others.

The City does have a leash law and your pets must stay on your property. There is a temporary holding pen for stray pets. Pictures of impounded pets are posted on the bulletin board at the Police Station. Pets are held for 5 days. For further information, please call City Hall and we will have an Animal Control Officer contact you.
