There have been dog attacks recently in the area and the City of Littlefield and Animal Control feels it is important to heighten awareness to the zero-tolerance policy regarding Dogs at Large. This means dog owners will receive a citation every time Animal Control finds their dog at large, or unrestrained.
The main focus is for the safety of the community and the City of Littlefield and Animal Control will do everything to ensure that safety. The city and Animal Control would like to thank everyone for the continued support while they work toward a better future.
City Ordinance – Sec. 2.01.009 – Restraint of Dogs Every person owning or having charge, care, custody or control of any dog shall keep such dog exclusively upon his or her own premises by means of physical restraint; provided, however, that such dog may be off such premises if it is under direct control of a competent person by means of a secure leash not over six feet in length or by some other equivalent means of direct physical control. (2002 Code, sec. 4.11)
