Fayetteville requires dogs to be leashed or confined at all times. Dogs running at large are a violation. Cumberland County Animal Control handles stray and at-large animal complaints.
Fayetteville requires all dogs to be on a leash, confined to the owner's property by a fence or enclosure, or under the direct control of the owner at all times. Dogs running at large may be picked up by Cumberland County Animal Control and impounded. All dogs must be vaccinated for rabies per North Carolina law (NCGS 130A-185). Dog licensing may be required through Cumberland County. The military community from Fort Liberty means a high volume of pet ownership in the area. Cumberland County Animal Services operates the local animal shelter. Owners must pay impound and boarding fees to reclaim their animals.
Dog at large: fines. Impound fees apply. Failure to vaccinate for rabies: NCGS violation with penalties.
