Lenexa Animal Ordinances

Per the City’s leash law, it is unlawful for any animal to run uncontrolled, or to disturb persons by chasing, charging, barking growling or biting.

The leash law applies to cats, as well as dogs. Outdoor cats are NOT allowed.

Dogs must be confined to the owner/keeper’s yard, unless the owner/keeper is outside, monitoring the animal on the property.

All dogs must be walked on a leash. This includes while in residential neighborhoods, City parks, on apartment common grounds, along public walking trails, etc.

It is unlawful for any person to fail to clean up after their animal, if the animal defecates on public property, or property owned by another person.

Neighbors may sign citations for excessive barking, which is disturbing their peace.

Dogs that are maintained outdoors must have access to proper shelter, food and water.

Animals may not be left unattended in vehicles for extended periods of time. The vehicle must be properly ventilated and the animal must have water.

Failure to comply with these ordinances may result in a citation being issued.
