certificate is required at registration. Owners of dogs running at large without
a registration will receive a $50 to $300 fine.
Owners of registered dogs running at large are subject to a $25 impound fee. All animals picked up will be taken to the Wichita/Sedgwick County Animal Shelter located at K-96 & Hillside. Impounded animals are detained for a maxi-mum of 72 hours and then either placed for adoption or euthanized.
