Dog owners must have their pets under “reasonable control”—that is, leashed or confined—at all times; they also are required to clean up after their dogs on both public and private property. Licenses are mandatory for dogs over 6 months. One-year license $6 neutered/$12 unaltered, three-year license $15/$30. No charge for service dogs. Licenses expire on the date of expiration of the rabies vaccination certificate. Search “dog license” at a2gov.org.
Owners of all pets must provide proper food, drink, and shelter from the weather for their animals, as well as the medical attention necessary to prevent the animals from suffering. Animals may not be left confined without adequate ventilation.
