Animal Control

Several property owners in Alpha Subdivision have complained about dogs running free out of the control of their owners.  Please see Archuleta County Ordnance 23-2023 which states the requirements for control of dogs. See section 2.9 (a,b,c), quoted below:

2.9 “Control” shall mean that:
a. The animal is under physical restraint by means of a leash or similar tether of sufficient strength that is not longer than ten (10) feet in length that is being held by a person;
b. The animal is physically restrained by being enclosed in a cage, pen, fence, building, or motor vehicle in such a way that it cannot escape; or
c. The animal is accompanied by a person whom it immediately responds to commands, be they issued audibly, mechanically, or electronically and remain within sight.

Please be a good neighbor and observe these requirements
