Does Paulding County
have a leash law?
Yes, although the
ordinance is not technically a “leash law”, there are containment laws
that govern pet owners in the county. This ordinance does not specify that
the animal must be tied up or inside in a fence at all times (which allows
owners to use products such as ‘invisible fence’. Basically, all
pets must be kept on the pet owners property at all times. If the
pet leaves the property it must be secured by a leash.
Are cats covered under
the containment ordinance?
Yes, cats and all
domestic animals must be kept on the owner’s property, just like dogs.
This best way to keep cats on your property is to keep them indoors.
Some people choose to build pens (with tops) to let their cats enjoy the
great outdoors safely.
