The Town of New Lebanon has enacted certain legislation that all pet
owners should be aware of. The purpose of our local Dog
Control Law, in combination with New York State Law, is to protect
the health, safety, and well being of persons and property within
the Town of New Lebanon. We hope the following information
will provide assistance with local regulations as well as New York
State regulations.

New Lebanon for longer than 30 days must be licensed (Dogs
residing in NYC are licensed with NYC Department of Health. Proof of
said licensing is required. If a non-resident brings a dog into
New York State for less than 30 days, the dog must be licensed according
to the resident state's licensing laws. Proof of
said licensing is required).
