Time to Register Your Dog

Residents are reminded to register your dogs. Registration is $5 for dogs that are spayed or neutered or $10 if they are not spayed or neutered. A current immunization 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.

Please contact City Hall to register your dog. 316-794-2441

If you’ve lost your pet you can contact Community Development Specialist Monte Barnickle and the information will be posted for a one week period on the city’s television channel, Channel 7.
