Arizona law bars vicious or in-season female dogs from running at large and requires a license tag on any dog over three months. Mohave County Animal Control handles at-large and rabies enforcement.
The statewide baseline is A.R.S. §11-1012: a vicious dog or a female dog in season may not be permitted at large, and any dog over three months running at large must wear a collar or harness with a valid license tag. Dogs are barred from public parks and school grounds unless leashed or crated. Rabies vaccination and county licensing are mandatory, and Mohave County Animal Control impounds strays and answers at-large complaints across the unincorporated desert. Inside Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Bullhead City, municipal leash rules add to this. Summer pavement burns paws—dawn and dusk walks are the humane norm.
A dog at large in violation of §11-1012 can be impounded and the owner cited. Missing license or rabies vaccination brings penalties. The owner is civilly liable for injury a loose dog causes.
