City Ordinances
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 turn 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.
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.
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.
