Rosenberg requires dogs to be restrained on a leash or within an enclosed area when off the owner's property, prohibiting dogs from running at large within city limits.
Under Rosenberg's animal control ordinance, owners must keep dogs under physical restraint (leash, tether, or fenced enclosure) whenever the dog is off the owner's premises. Dogs found running at large may be impounded by animal control. Owners are responsible for damage or injury caused by unrestrained dogs. The leash law applies to all public spaces including parks and sidewalks. Voice control alone does not satisfy the restraint requirement except in designated off-leash areas.
Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500. Impoundment fees, daily boarding charges, and reclaim fees apply. Repeat offenses may escalate.
