[R.O. 2008 §5-16; Ord. No. 1879 §1, 8-11-1997; Ord. No. 4044 §4, 10-23-2006]
It shall be unlawful for any owner or other person controlling
or possessing any dog or cat to permit or allow such dog or cat to
run at large. For the purpose of this Section, every dog or cat, when
on any street, alley, park or any other public or private place in
the City that is not restrained or that is not so confined as to prevent
its straying from the premises, shall be deemed running at large.
However, a dog or cat that is not a dangerous animal and that bears
an identification tag containing the name and address of its owner
may remain on the property of its owner without leash or other confinement
and will not be deemed to be running at large. A dog that is registered
for the Creve Coeur dog park may run without a leash when inside of
the dog park without being deemed to be running at large.
