County Animal Ordinance Approved

On Tuesday April 5, 2011 the Colusa County Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance that states all dogs in the county must be on a leash not longer than 6 feet, at all times that the animal is off the property of the owner. Several land/home owners in the Arbuckle area have had to contend with irresponsible dog owners over a period of a year that do not and will not control or restrain their animals. This new ordinance will go into effect on May 5, 2011. With the acceptance of the new law Colusa County now joins other rural counties that have the same leash law i.e. Sutter, Butte, Merced, Yolo and San Luis Obispo. The ordinance, in it's entirety, will be posted on this site under Colusa County Animal Control tab when it goes into effect at the beginning of May.
