What a Frigid Morning Oxford! Brrr from the People & Grrr from the Pets! Please remember our paw friends need to be protected. If anyone sees an unattended roaming pet out in this cold or during the incoming snowstorm, they should call our Animal Control Folks by dialing the Non-Emergency Police Department number (508) 987-0156 and press #4 to speak directly to Dispatch. Dispatch will patch call out to our ACOs, who are on call 24 hours a day to respond! When in doubt give a telephone shout for a pet in need!
