Peoria requires dogs to be on a leash or under restraint when off the owner's property. Dogs running at large are subject to impoundment by Maricopa County Animal Care and Control.
Under Peoria's animal control code (Chapter 4), dogs must be on a leash or otherwise restrained when not on the owner's property. Dogs at large are a violation and may be impounded. All dogs over 3 months must be licensed with Maricopa County and have current rabies vaccinations. Designated dog parks provide off-leash areas. The city works with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control for enforcement.
Dogs at large may be impounded. Owners face fines for leash law violations and impound fees. Unlicensed dogs carry additional penalties.
