Manitou Springs Municipal Code (Chapter 7 — Animals) requires dogs to remain on a leash of no more than 4 feet in length when off the owner's property. Owners must carry waste cleanup supplies when walking dogs. The city has no dedicated off-leash dog park — the nearest options are Red Rock Canyon Open Space and Bear Creek Park (outside city). All dogs and cats over 4 months must be licensed through HSPPR (719-302-8798). Dogs running at large may be impounded. Given the tourist/pedestrian character of Manitou Springs, leash enforcement is important.
