Any individual convicted of an animal abuse crime after September 16, 2019 and residing in the County of Dutchess must register with the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, and will appear on this registry.
Any person or entity transferring the ownership of an animal is required to inspect the registry to see if the person obtaining ownership is listed.
