Shreveport animal code, Chapter 14
A 2017 ordinance exhibit posted by the city, Exhibit A to Ordinance 139 of 2017, requires dogs over three months old to be vaccinated against rabies and registered with Caddo Parish Animal Services, and lists a $50 fine for not registering within the year. A dog not inside its owner's yard or enclosure, on a restricting tether, or on a leash no longer than six feet counts as at large.
The city's earlier posted text of the dangerous dog section says a dangerous dog may leave the owner's premises only muzzled and restrained by a chain or leash of no more than four feet, under the control of an adult (see the posted ordinance). These documents are older council files, so confirm the current code with Caddo Parish Animal Services.
