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 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.
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.
