WHITING — Following a dog bite incident in January, the Whiting selectboard has decided on the need for an animal ordinance.

The town still has 15 unregistered dogs, according to recent reports. Owners must provide proof that dogs have rabies shots upon registration, and the selectboard has agreed that it must have an ordinance as a matter of public safety. An ordinance would allow the town to enforce registration and safety in the case of dog bites.
