Important Message to Marblehead Dog Owners

The Marblehead Animal Control is reminding owners that your dogs are NOT allowed off leash ANYWHERE in the Town of Marblehead, including the Rail Trails. The ONLY unleashed place is your personal property and the Dog Park.  Dogs are NOT allowed on Beaches, School Property, Parks and Town Cemeteries (including but not limited to, Burial Hill, Waterside & Memorial Park) or the Bird Sanctuary year round.

Please respect these laws and all laws pertaining to animals in the Town of Marblehead. A copy of the Towns Bylaws are on the paperwork you were given when licensing your dog or you may view on the Town Website here: https://www.marblehead.org/police-department/animal-control-department/pages/animal-town-laws. (Dates are given on the paperwork for winter and certain park exceptions for LEASHED dogs).

There are NO EXCEPTIONS to these laws and CITATIONS WILL BE ISSUED!  Also, fines of up to $150.00 will be issued for not picking up your dogs waste and disposing of it properly.

Thank you for Your Cooperation.
