🐾 DOG RUNNING AT LARGE — STULL ROAD 🐾

The dog pictured was observed roaming on Stull Road. If this is your dog, please secure it immediately. If you recognize the dog, please notify its owner.

PUBLIC REMINDER: Rankin County’s Animal Control Ordinance prohibits allowing animals to roam off their owner’s property in the county’s unincorporated areas, with limited exceptions for lawful hunting and working animals. In platted subdivisions, dogs must be on a leash, behind a fence, or in an enclosure.

⚠️ Violations can result in fines of up to $1,000. A second or subsequent conviction within 12 months carries a minimum fine of $200. Animals may also be impounded, with owners responsible for capture, care, and housing costs.

Even a friendly dog can be struck by a vehicle, become lost, or cause an incident with another animal or person. Please check your fences, secure your gates, and keep your pets safely contained.

Help us protect our community and the animals in it. Responsible pet ownership starts at home.
