Dogs Off Leash
Did you know that all dogs must be on a leash at all times unless at the Off Leash Dog Park located in Fiddle Park?
The Town of Shelburne’s parks, trails and greenspaces are cherished by residents, visitors, and their dogs. Unfortunately, there are growing concerns of some residents not following the Animal Control Bylaw (Bylaw # 15-2018).
See Shelburne.ca By-Law 15-2018
