Animal Welfare Department Reminds Pet Owners To Remember The Leash!

Image

The Animal Welfare Department (AWD) would like to remind pet owners to remember the leash if you take your pet to City parks, trails, open spaces and anywhere within City limits. We love our furry friends here in Albuquerque and we encourage pet parents to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather with them!

AWD understands pet parents want the freedom of letting their pets roam, but as a reminder there are leash laws in Albuquerque for their safety and the safety of others. The City’s Municipal Code § 9-2-2-2 (A) states that “all animals are required to be on a leash. No animal shall be permitted in any street or public place within the city unless it is effectively restrained by a leash not to exceed 8 feet in length.” Violators could be fined for civil violations at $200 for the first offense, $300 for the second, and $500 for the third or subsequent offense or criminal charges can also be filed. There are several dog parks throughout Albuquerque where dogs can play off-leash. To see the map of dog parks, visit: https://www.cabq.gov/pets/news/dog-park-map
