  • A dog is considered at large, or loose, when it is outside of a secure enclosure. That enclosure is usually a back yard, as long as a fence or dog run can keep the dog from getting out. A dog is considered to be at large even if it is in your front yard, if that yard does not have a secure enclosure which can prevent the dog from escaping.

  • Homeowners are allowed to put traps on their property. A cat trap may be picked up at the Midland Animal Shelter. A $75 deposit is required and the trap must be returned Friday. Cat traps can also be purchased at local hardware and feed stores. Animal Services will remove animals from our own traps as well as those that are privately owned.
