Here is the wording and link if anyone wants it.
Sec. 4-24. Animals at large defined.
An animal shall be deemed at large if on or off the premises of its owner and not under the direct control of the responsible owner. An owner may however, leash, tie, stake, adequately fence or house the animal in any humane manner so as to keep the animal confined to the owner's property where it can not leave at will, without the animal being defined as at-large. Permitting to run at-large outside of said adequate enclosure or allowing the dog to be unrestrained in an enclosed yard when gates are open shall be in violation of this section. Hunting and stock dogs while being worked by the responsible person shall not be fined as at-large.
(Ord. No. 8179, § 1, 11-20-85; Ord. No. 9891, § 1, 6-16-93)
