Cheyenne Title 4 requires dogs off owner property to be leashed and under control. Dogs running at large are impounded by the contracted Cheyenne Animal Shelter and the owner must pay redemption fees.
Cheyenne City Code Title 4, Animals, requires every dog within city limits to be confined to the owner's property or held on a physical leash when in public spaces, parks, or on neighboring property. Voice control alone does not satisfy the leash standard. Animal Control officers, working through the contracted Cheyenne Animal Shelter, may impound at-large dogs. Owners reclaim animals at the shelter after paying impound, boarding, and licensing fees. Repeat at-large incidents can lead to a dangerous-dog determination, escalating fines, and possible court-ordered restrictions. Dogs in vehicles must also be secured.
First offense fines run roughly fifty to one hundred dollars plus shelter impound and boarding charges; repeat offenders face higher municipal court fines, possible misdemeanor citations, and dangerous-dog reviews.
