Animal Care & Control

Animal Complaint Procedures
The Town of Chesapeake City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Cecil County Government that established the County as the provider of animal care and control services within the Town’s corporate municipal limits. In addition, the Town adopted the County’s Animal Care and Control Ordinance (can be viewed/downloaded at http://ecode360.com/16162739) as required under the MOU. Thus, all questions, concerns, and complaints about animal care and control should be directed to Cecil County Animal Services at:

Phone: (410) 441-2040
Email:
Mailing Address: 3280 Augustine Herman Hwy
Chesapeake City, MD 21915
Website: http://www.ccgov.org/government/animal-services

Dogs running-at-large and owners not picking up their animal’s waste on public and private property are ongoing problems in town. If you have witnessed one of these violations or any other violation of the Animal Care and Control Ordinance, please complete the complaint form found on Cecil County Animal Services website via the following link:

http://www.ccgov.org/home/showdocument?id=19985

Please note that it is extremely helpful if you obtain a photograph of the violation (i.e.: loose or nuisance dog violation) and attach the photo with the complaint indicating the date and time of the violation. A photo of the residence where you believe the owner lives is also helpful for the investigation. Completed application forms can be emailed, mailed, or dropped off at Cecil County Animal Services or at Chesapeake City Town Hall (108 Bohemia Ave.) and we can forward the complaint form to Animal Services.

Special note: If the complaint is an emergency in nature, please call 911. Examples of emergency situations include, but are not limited to, a severe dog bite to a human, an aggressive dog at large that poses a threat to public safety or other domestic animals, animal abuse or neglected animals that need emergency attention.

Delmarva Power Reminds Customers to Call Before Digging

Know What’s Below; Call Before You Dig

Staying away from underground utility lines is as easy as 8-1-1. That is the underground utility locating service number to call before you put a shovel into the ground.

Whether you are putting in shrubbery or installing a fence, deck or mailbox, you should call 8-1-1 before each job in order to prevent damage to underground electric and gas lines, avoid fines and repair costs, and keep you, your family and neighbors safe. By law, the underground utility locating service must be called at least two days in advance of any work you plan to do.

“The underground utility locating service is free, and simply calling 8-1-1 will bring someone to your home or business to mark all underground utilities so you will be able to dig safely,” said Gary Stockbridge, Delmarva Power region president. “Calling 8-1-1 before digging will help you avoid fines and disgruntled neighbors if a hit line cuts off electric or gas service. But, more importantly, knowing where it’s safe to dig will avoid an accident that could result in injury or death.”

Be smart, dig safely and call 8-1-1 before you dig.
