The City of Larned welcomes all canine citizens as long as they are well-behaved and well-maintained. Larned does not have a breed ban and does not discriminate based on breed, but has firm expectations for behavior from all of its four-legged citizens and their owners.
If your pet acts out in Larned and is determined by the municipal court judge to be “Vicious”, the animal, per city ordinance, will not be allowed to remain in the city limits of Larned.
Owner Responsibility
Owner responsibility is the key to successful animal ownership. As the pet owner, you alone have the responsibility to choose and maintain a suitable animal and you alone are accountable for the actions of your animal. Before selecting a pet, you should carefully consider the specie or breed of animal that best fits your lifestyle.
Train Your Animals
To decrease the likelihood that your animal will become a danger to the community, you should properly train your animal so that it will be less likely to have the ability to be vicious and/or you can secure your animal from the general public so that it won’t have the opportunity to act out in a “vicious or dangerous” manner. It is also important for parents to teach their children how to approach and react around animals. Special caution should be given to animals they are unfamiliar with. Teach your children to respect animals and their territory.
