Jurupa Valley contracts animal control to Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS), which operates the Jurupa Valley Animal Campus on Mission Boulevard. Dogs must be restrained on a leash whenever off the owner's property under Riverside County Ordinance No. 630 (Dog Licensing) and Ordinance No. 771 (Dangerous Dogs), as applied within the incorporated city limits of Jurupa Valley (incorporated July 1, 2011).
Riverside County Ordinance No. 630 requires all dogs four (4) months of age or older to be licensed and currently vaccinated for rabies, and prohibits dogs from running at large in any public place or on private property of another without consent. Within city limits, RCDAS field officers enforce the leash requirement under contract with the City of Jurupa Valley. Off-leash exercise is permitted only inside fenced private property or within designated off-leash dog areas. There is no city-specific leash chapter beyond the county ordinance adopted by reference and the state framework. Statewide, California Food & Agricultural Code §30951 et seq. requires rabies vaccination and tagging for dogs; Food & Ag. Code §31152 authorizes property owners to kill any dog actively attacking livestock under defined conditions. Dog parks within Jurupa Valley (such as Indian Hills Dog Park) post site-specific rules. Cats are not subject to a leash requirement under county or state law.
Dogs found at large are impounded by RCDAS at the Jurupa Valley Animal Campus. Impound, board, license-late, and rabies-vaccination-citation fees apply per the current Riverside County animal services fee schedule and may be enforced as infractions. Repeat at-large violations or attacks can escalate to a potentially-dangerous or vicious-dog hearing under Food & Ag. Code §31601 et seq.
