Anyone know who this older Lab belongs to? No collar and running loose in town. He’s a friendly thing!

McIntosh residents, who do these dogs belong to? They are wandering the alley by the water tower. They’re growling, barking, and chasing residents. The Sheriff’s office has been called.

Another reminder to keep your dogs from running loose.

Anyone who allows their dog to run at large will be guilty of a misdemeanor. Dogs must be on a leash and accompanied by a responsible person, so as to be effectively restrained by command as by leash. All dogs over the age of six months kept, harbored, or maintained by their owners in the city, shall be licensed and registered with the city.
If you have not registered your pets, please do so by stopping by the City Clerk’s office. Dogs $5.00/each Cats $2.00/each. Thank you.

Attention McIntosh residents, household garbage was found at the city's yard waste dump site this morning. This serves as a reminder that the site is designated for yard waste only and for McIntosh city residents exclusively. Please note that we share the site with the Department of Natural Resources and continued disposal of household garbage may result in the site being shut down by the state. Thank you.

With winter upon us, snow removal challenges increase. While the City makes every effort to clear streets and alleys quickly, we kindly ask for your patience during heavy snowfall events. Nevertheless, it is not the snow-covered streets that have people most upset, but the blocked driveways that lead to calls and complaints. A frequent question is why Public Works can’t raise the blade at driveway entrances. The reason is twofold: our equipment needs consistent speed to efficiently clear streets, and prioritizing driveway clearance with our limited staff would significantly delay the overall snow removal process.
Please note that residents and businesses are required to keep snow and ice off of sidewalks along their property as well as clearing a path to fire hydrants near their residence.
Thank you!
