Alabama state law requires all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies every year.
Contact your local veterinarian for information about rabies shots. The shots are very low in cost and some animal care givers offer the shot for free. Protect yourself, your neighbors, and your pet.
 

Auburn utilizes and enforces the "Leash Law."
The dog must be confined to a building or fenced area on the property, and the dog must be leashed and/or securely tied in such a manner that the dog cannot gain access to other property.

Auburn has a nuisance ordinance, which includes dog barking.
If you are bothered by a continual howl of a chronic barker, you should first speak to the owner. Allow the owner a little time to work out a solution. Offer suggestions or alternatives which might reduce the noise. If the problem persists, your next course of action is through the municipal court system. Contact the Auburn Public Safety Department (police) to fill out a report.
