Salem requires dogs to be on leash or under owner control when off private property. Dogs must be licensed with Marion County and vaccinated against rabies.
Salem's animal control ordinances require dogs to be restrained by a leash or under direct control when off private property. Dogs running at large are subject to impoundment. All dogs must be licensed with Marion County and have current rabies vaccinations as required by Oregon law. Salem has designated off-leash areas in certain parks. Dogs are prohibited from playgrounds, sports fields, and other posted areas. Marion County Dog Services handles licensing and enforcement.
Dogs at large may be impounded. Owners face citations with fines. Unlicensed dogs face additional penalties.
