Love 'em & Leash 'em

Three Reasons to Keep Your Dog on a Leash

1. Prevents Disease

Walking your pet on a leash will prevent the spread of disease.  A leashed dog can be restrained from sniffing the droppings of other animals.

Did you know? You're required under the law to pick up your pet's waste on private property (unless consent is given by the owner) and public property (sidewalks, recreation areas, etc.).

2. Good for Wildlife

It's a great relief to wildlife, keeping your dog from chasing squirrels, deer, and other wildlife.

3. It's the Law!

It is the law in Seminole County! The law is in place to protect other members of the public and your pet from injury.

For more information on these animal laws in Seminole County, please see Seminole County's Code of Ordinances Chapter 20 - Sec. 20. 17-18.
