Several LaFayette Ridge neighbors have complained recently about stray dogs roaming the neighborhood. Please remember that Walton County has a leash law. Restrain your pets and help keep our neighborhood a safe and happy place. Residents have indicated that they will start calling Animal Control if the problem persists.
Walton County Animal Control
Here's the Walton County Code of Ordinances for Animals:
(Ord. of 12-2-1997, § 4) Sec. 10-5. - Duty to keep animals under restraint while off owner's property.

(1) The animal is within a vehicle, parked or in motion;
(2) The animal is properly confined within a secured enclosure with the property owners permission;
(3) The animal is securely restrained by a leash or other method held by a competent person; or
(4) The animal is under immediate voice command of a competent person at all times.
Probably Annie. She has roamed since we moved here and nearly attacked my dog.
