How much is the fine for a dog at large citation in the state of Utah?

Question

My dog got loose and unfortunately a police officer found her before I could. I was given a citation ticket for Dog at Large. I'm a bit short on cash at the moment and having never had this happen before, am unsure what the cost will be. Anyone know?

Answer 1

Pet laws are mainly coded in the ordinances of the city you live in.

You should contact your local city hall for a much more accurate answer than most of us in this forum can give you.

Answer 2

Hope Utah is less than Loma Linda Calif. and the other commie cities in that state. Loma Linda has a dog catcher who will cite the owner for dog running at large if the animal even steps into the street. Fine is $300. owner has 12 hours to pay for this extortion by a dog catcher who is obviously getting sizable percentage of the $300. If owner does not pay the dog catcher returns, takes the dog leaving the owner with an even more exorbitant bill to pay as a fine to keep their animals. For weeks after the dog catcher stalks that street in hope the dog will do this again and he'll earn even more money.

Answer 3

I dont think something like that would be very expensive, but I suppose animal control would know.
Wish they would give a ticket for dogs that wont quit barking because the owners ignore them.
Put in a complaint and was told I would have to document times and stuff. Like I wanna get up in the middle of the night 3 or 4 times to write it all down.
Ahh well.
Anyway hope its not too much and keep that dog secure, dont want another ticket. I think repeat occurances can cause higher fines and even your pet taken if enough of a problem.
