Tulare County Animal Control Information

If you or a loved one has suffered through a dog bite attack in Tulare County, you face a very difficult situation. The person who was attacked has suffered physical, emotional and financial trauma that inflicts harm on that person and his or her family. People forced into this position need to take immediate steps to protect their rights and interests, as well as to protect the public from a potentially dangerous dog.

Leash Laws

Dogs are cherished members of the family, joining us in our daily routines and adventures. We often take them along for walks, outings, and exercise to keep them healthy and happy. When bringing dogs into public spaces, it’s essential to keep them securely leashed for the safety of people, other animals, and the dogs themselves. Sadly, not everyone follows this basic responsibility, which can lead to dangerous situations, injuries, or the need for animal control intervention. Learn more by visiting our Tulare County Leash Laws page.
