Take Care of Your Animal & Your Neighbors
Leash Law
The City of Euless' Code of Ordinances requires all cats and dogs to be securely restrained by a leash, chain or in a fenced area that is of sufficient strength and height to prevent the animal from escaping. This includes your front yard, driveway, side yard or alley. The law does not discriminate on the size or of species of your animal. Animals must always be in direct care of someone, or be placed where it cannot escape and come in contact with others.
Scoop the Poop
Animal owners are responsible for the removal of all pet waste deposited by his/her animal on public walks, recreation areas, or private property. This applies to the owner's property in terms of not allowing unsanitary conditions, such as creating an odor nuisance.
Noise Ordinance
Some people might say a dog's bark is worse than his bite. If you live next door to a barking dog, you know that to be true. The City of Euless has a noise ordinance, which states an animal that "barks, whines, howls, crows, cackles or makes any noise excessively and continuously" that disturbs any person in the immediate vicinity is prohibited.
Animal Registration
A new ordinance in Euless now requests owners to register their dogs and cats residing within the City of Euless. Registering your pet allows Euless Animal Services to quickly locate you and ensure your pet is safely returned home. You will receive an ID tag in the mail for your pet with their personal identification number. Voluntary participation is free. If an unregistered dog or cat is picked up by Animal Services, a registration fee of $10 will be assessed before the dog or cat is released from the Animal Shelter.
