No owner or keeper of a dog shall allow, permit or suffer such dog, whether licensed or unlicensed, to be or run at large in or upon any public place or premises, or in or upon any unenclosed private place or premises, or in or upon any enclosed private place or premises other than those of said owner or keeper except with the consent of the person in charge of said private place or premises, unless such dog is securely restrained by a substantial leash not exceeding six feet in length and is in charge and control of a person competent to keep such dog under effective control.
(Prior code § 5530; Ord. 910 § 2, 1971)
(a) 
It is unlawful for any person to knowingly keep, allow to be kept, or permit to remain upon premises under the control of such person, any animal which habitually barks, whines, or makes loud or unusual noises so as to unreasonably disturb the peace and quiet of the neighborhood or interfere with any person of ordinary sensitiveness in the reasonable and comfortable enjoyment of life and property.
(b) 
This section shall not be construed to prohibit the keeping of any watch dog, provided, the keeper thereof takes immediate steps to quiet such dog whenever it barks, and provided further that such keeper never leaves such dog unat-tended on the premises in a place where its barking, if prolonged or repeated an undue number of times, unreasonably disturbs a person of ordinary sensitiveness.
(c) 
After being informed that a violation of subsection (a) or (b) of this section may have incurred, the owner or harborer of such animal shall take all steps necessary to ensure that such violation does not again occur.
(Prior code § 5531; Ord. 910 § 2, 1971; Ord. 1323 § 1, 1989)
(a) 
No person owning, keeping or having in his or her care or custody any dog shall knowingly fail, refuse or neglect to clean up any feces of such dog immediately and dispose of it in a sanitary manner whenever such dog has defecated upon public or private property without the consent of the public or private owner or person in lawful possession or charge of the property.
(b) 
The provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall not apply to a blind person being accompanied by a guide dog, nor shall they be construed to require or countenance any act of trespass upon private property. Whenever the feces to be cleaned up cannot be reached without a significant trespass upon the private property on which the feces is located, the person having the duty pursuant to subsection (a) to clean it upon shall first obtain consent to do so from the owner or person in lawful possession or charge of the property.
(Ord. 1082 § 1, 1979)
No person shall, without the knowledge or consent of the owner, hold or retain possession of any dog of which he is not the owner, for more than twenty-four hours without first reporting the possession of such dog to the animal control officer, giving his name and address and a true description of the dog and then causing the dog to be impounded at the city animal pound for return to the legal owner. At the discretion of the animal control officer, any such finder of a dog may be allowed to retain possession of the dog in lieu of impoundment. In such case the animal control officer shall make all normal and regular efforts to ascertain the true owner of the dog and advise him of the whereabouts of the dog.
(Prior code § 5532; Ord. 910 § 2, 1971)
