In 2025, the CSL Community Associaton office in partnership with the Jennings County Animal Control intends to focus on animals running at large as well as neglected and/or abused animals. Please see the following animal control ordinances pertaining to the leash law and animal care.
Leash Law: One of our biggest issues in CSL are animals running at large. Not only is it a nuisance, it is a safety issue. Citations will be issued for any dogs not kept on their property without a leash. Citations may lead to the dog(s) being confiscated. Per Jennings County Animal Control Ordinances: "It shall be unlawful for an owner or person having custody or control of an Animal to run at large so as to create a public nuisance. An owner or person having custody or control of an animal shall not allow such animal to stray beyond his premises unless under the reasonable control of some person. An owner or person having custody or control of an animal in violation of this section commits a Class C Ordinance violation. However, if said at-large animal also creates a public nuisance, the violation is a Class B Ordinance violation. In addition to any fines specified in this chapter, any person who allows or causes any animals to stray onto, or to be found upon, a public highway or other public property, shall be liable for the costs of removal and storage of said animals and notification to the owner."
Animal Care: Per Jennings County Animal Control Ordinances, "Every owner of an animal shall see that his animal has proper and adequate food, water, shelter (adequate shelter-means a leak proof structure with 3 sides and a roof and a floor), protection from the weather, and medical & grooming care, and that his animal is kept in a clean, sanitary and healthy manner and is not confined so as to be forced to stand, sit or lie in its own excrement and have shelter at all times while outside. If your dog is tied up, the chain or tether must be no shorter than five (5) times the length of the dog, as the dog is measured from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail or fifteen (15) feet, whichever is less. In addition to the length prescribed by the preceding paragraph, if the chain or tether is attached to an overhead trolley, pulley or running line, the chain or tether must include a length at least equal to the height of the highest point on the overhead trolley, pulley or running line. The chain or tether shall not weigh in excess of one-eight (1/8) of the dog's weight. The chain or tether shall have a swivel at both ends. Any person who violates any portion of this section, above, not preempted by Indiana law commits a Class A Ordinance violation. Any person who violates any portion of subsection B, above, not preempted by Indiana law, shall first be issued a written warning, be informed of what steps are necessary to correct the violation, and be given sufficient time to correct it. Any violation of subsection B, above, committed after the violator has received the initial written warning, corrective information and time for correction, shall be a Class B Ordinance violation for the first offense and a Class A Ordinance violation for any such violation committed after being cited for a Class B violation."
