Sanger Municipal Code Title 6 requires dogs to be leashed when off the owner's property. Dogs running at large may be impounded by Fresno County Animal Control, which serves Sanger under contract.
Under Sanger Municipal Code Title 6 and Fresno County Ordinance Code Chapter 10, dogs must be kept under restraint at all times when off the owner's premises. A dog is considered at large when roaming freely on any public street, park, or unfenced private property without direct control. Owners must use a leash no longer than six feet when walking dogs on public sidewalks and in city parks. California Food and Agricultural Code Section 30954 further authorizes any city to adopt ordinances for the seizure and impoundment of dogs running at large. Fresno County Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Division handles animal control for Sanger. Dangerous or vicious dogs are subject to additional restrictions under California Food and Agricultural Code Sections 31601-31683, including mandatory confinement, signage, and liability insurance requirements. Off-leash dogs that cause injury may result in the owner facing civil liability under California Civil Code Section 3342.
Dog at large: citation and impound fees. First offense impound fee starts around $50-75 plus daily boarding. Repeat offenses escalate. Vicious dog violations carry mandatory penalties under state law.
