Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The City of Harare\u2019s dog by-laws prohibit owning two or more dogs on properties smaller than 2,000 square metres and owning four dogs on larger properties.<\/p>\n

Areas under 2,000 square metres include Warren Park, Westlea, Cranborne, Mabelreign, Arcadia, Mabvuku, and Avondale.<\/p>\n

Areas over 2,000 square metres include Greystone Park, Shawasha Hills, and Gletwin Park.<\/p>\n

Owning a dog without a permit, breeding dogs, and allowing them to roam the streets are all offences under these regulations. The Harare Dog and Licensing Control By-Laws, Section 4 (1) says:<\/p>\n

No person shall keep more than two dogs on any property measuring less than 2000 square meters, or more than four dogs on any other property.<\/p>\n

In Section 12, no owner shall allow their dog to roam without restraint beyond the limits of their property, and every dog owner shall ensure that their property is secured and gated to keep the dog(s) within those limits.<\/p>\n

City acting chamber secretary Warren Chiwawa said owning a dog requires a permit. He added that failure to comply with the by-laws incurs a level three fine or imprisonment of up to six months, or both a fine and imprisonment.<\/p>\n
