Town leaders reported that changes to state agricultural and markets law require the town to arrange contracted kennel services rather than housing stray dogs at the dog-control officer's residence.
S2 said the dog control officer will transport stray dogs to Columbia/Green Humane Society in Hudson for holding and noted the town must have a contract in place for 2026. S2 described the contract as nonnegotiable and said signing it "doesn't cost anything to sign it," but that housing and treatment costs for animals could become expensive if many animals need care.
The board accepted the report and indicated it will sign the shelter contract for 2026 to comply with state law and to ensure humane holding and care of stray animals.
