Help keep Hammond safe for our residents and furry friends! 🐾

Hammond Ordinance 91.071 requires pets to be on a leash no longer than 6 feet when off their owner’s property. Leashes must not contain weight-bearing objects or be used to leave pets tied up unattended.

See a loose animal or one tied up and left unattended? Contact Hammond Animal Control at 219-853-6507. For emergencies outside normal business hours, call 911.

Thank you for doing your part to be a responsible pet owner and considerate neighbor! 👏

Hammond Halloween Reminders! - Mayor Thomas M. McDermott, Jr., and the City of Hammond want to make sure families have everything they need to know before trick-or-treating. 🍫 🎃 🍬

On Saturday, October 31st, little ghouls and goblins can trick-or-treat between 5 PM and 7 PM. As always, we want you to have a fun yet safe holiday! Please ensure young children are accompanied by an adult and older children stay in groups. Be sure to remind them of the helpful tips below! Our first responders will be out around the city if you need help or just want to say hi! 👋

The Hammond Sportsplex will also host the 2nd Annual Persons with Disabilities Halloween Party from 5 PM to 7 PM on Saturday, October 31st. This is a great alternative for those who may not be trick-or-treating, and all are welcome to join in the festive fun! 🧡 👻 🎊
