City Ordinances
Copyright © 2007 Salina Animal Shelter All Rights Reserved
|
Dog at Large: All dogs within the city limits must be either on a leash or
fenced in a yard. Even if the owner is outside with the dog on his or her own
property, the dog needs to be on a leash or fenced in.
Care Requirements: Owners must provide sufficient and wholesome
food, potable water, shade, and protection from the weather, which shall
include a structurally sound weatherproof enclosure. Animals need the
opportunity for exercise and veterinary care when needed to treat injury or
illness. Owners cannot abandon or leave any animal in any place for more
than 12 hours without providing for adequate food, water and shelter, or tun
out or release any animal for the purpose of causing it to be impounded.
Animals cannot be left unattended in a vehicle when such vehicle does not
have adequate ventilation and temperature to prevent suffering, disability,
or death.
Pen Maintenance: Feces needs to be cleaned up every 24 hours and
stored for disposal in a container with fly-tight lid. Yard needs to be clean,
dry, and sanitary, and free from debris and offensive odors that may annoy
neighbors. All animal pens and yards need to be located such that
adequate drainage is obtained, normal drying occurs, and standing water is
not present.
Feces on Public Right of Way: If an owner is walking their dog off
their own property, they are responsible for removal of feces deposited by
the animal before they leave the area.
Nuisance Activities: When unprovoked, chases or approaches a
person or domestic animal in a menacing fashion or apparent attitude of
attack, upon public property, public rights-of-way, or private property owned
by any person other than the owner, or on the owner's property if the
person is lawfully on the property in the performance of public duties.
Menacing shall mean the display by an animal of a disposition,
determination, or intent to attack or inflict injury or harm to a human being or
other domestic animal, including displays of growling, charging, lunging,
snapping or biting, or, when unprovoked, engages in menacing behavior
causing a person lawfully on abutting or adjoining private or public property
or rights-of-way to reasonably believe the safety of the person is
threatened. Particular attention shall be paid to threatened safety of
children.
Excessive Animal Noise: It is unlawful for the owner of any animal to
permit the animal to make noise which is so loud or continuous that it
disturbs a person of normal sensibilities. If a summons is issued, a
subpoena shall be issued to the person who has been disturbed to testify to
the disturbance under oath.
Rabies Vaccination: All dogs and cats 4 months of age or older must
have a current rabies vaccination.
City License: All dogs and cats 4 months of age or older living within the
city limits of Salina must have a city license. The registration period shall
begin on the date the rabies vaccination is given, or on the date the animal
was brought into the city, whichever is later. The registration period shall
extend to the expiration date of the rabies vaccination. A rabies vaccination
certificate needs to be brought into the Animal Shelter, or, if a renewal,
mailed to the Shelter to obtain the city license.
