Running at large prohibited. It shall be unlawful for the dog or cat of any person who owns, keeps, possesses harbors, maintains or has the care, custody or control of a dog or cat, to run at large. A person, who owns, keeps, possesses harbors, maintains or has the care, custody or control of a dog or cat which runs a large shall be guilty of and offense. Dogs and Cats on a leash and accompanied by a responsible person shall be permitted in streets or on public land unless the city has posted an area with signs reading “Dogs or Cats Prohibited”.

  The City of Wildrose asks all owners to follow the leash law of Wildrose and take responsibility to see that their pets are not running loose or being a public nuisance.

  We want to make the city a safe place where people can enjoy outdoor activities without the fear of dogs running loose. Although many of our residents cooperate with the leash law, we still continue to get complaints of dogs chasing when walking or running, being attacked or nipped at, children bit, garbage totes being tipped and contents dragged out, decorations torn down, dogs on leashes being attacked by larger unleashed dogs.

  Please be a responsible pet owner and don’t allow your pets to run loose so more severe alternatives don’t have to be taken.
