Reminder to All Hillsborough Residents: Dog Census Underway 

Mayor Frank DelCore reminds all Hillsborough residents that the current Dog Census is underway.  The State mandates that the Township conducts a dog census every two years, in order to ensure that all dogs in the Township are properly licensed.  Dog Canvassers are knocking on doors in order to conduct the State mandated census - so do not be alarmed if you see one of these individuals knocking on door in your neighborhood. State law requires that all dogs, seven months of age or older, be licensed annually. 

Wildlife & Health Tips From The Township's Health Department  

It's summertime, and we are all spending more time outdoors.  It is also the time of year for
people and pets to come into closer contact with wildlife.  Usually, wildlife lives in close
proximity to humans without us even knowing about it. But during the warmer months, we are
outside more, and  wild animals are as well. 

Recently, there have been bear sightings and
coyote sightings among the usual raccoons, skunks, foxes, opossums, groundhogs, etc.  Close contact with these animals can be dangerous. If the animal is startled, or if it is rabid, it may be particularly dangerous.
