Buyer Beware!! XYLITOL is now being disguised as other names, including WOOD SUGAR, BIRCH SUGAR, and BIRCH BARK EXTRACT. Xylitol is a sweetener that's toxic to dogs and can cause life-threatening conditions. It's found in many human products, including sugar-free gum, toothpaste, and peanut butter just to name a few.

Animal Control has been made aware of several sightings of a small grey dog on the Dillingham/Brewster St area over the past few days. No one has been able to get a clear picture of the dog and it is unapproachable. Animal Control can set a trap for the dog, but we need permission from a property owner to do so. If sighted, please contact Animal Control as soon as possible. Thank you.

Animal Control rec'd several calls about a swan allegedly stuck on the ice on the pond just past Winter Street on Rt. 27 Kingston. Animal Control responded to the location and observed the swan. Animal Control contacted a Wildlife Agency and was advised this is typical behavior for swans. The swan eventually found its way back to the shoreline.

Thank you to KFD Captain Hussey and KPD Officers who also responded to the scene. Animal Control left the location once it was determined the swan was ok.
