DOGS MUST BE ON LEASH
Posted on Jul 11th, 2017
For the safety of your dog, other dogs and Lakepoint residents, this is a reminder to please keep your dog on a leash. 
The leash law is a provision in the code of the City of Wichita that prohibits certain domestic animals from roaming free. The leash law (City Code 6.04.040) states that “Any owner of any animal, other than cats, found running at large within the corporate limits of the city shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.”
Section 6 of the code also defines “running at large” as “any animal that is not confined within a fenced enclosure or shelter or under the control of a person, either by lead, cord, rope, or chain.
Upon a first conviction, a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $1,000 shall be assessed.
Upon a second conviction a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 shall be assessed.
Upon a third or subsequent conviction, a fine of not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 shall be assessed and the owner must appear in Municipal Court.
Cat owners: If your cat goes outdoors, please bring it in overnight as a courtesy to your neighbors.
