Answer:
You may want to contact your local animal warden, as there could be local ordinances that apply to this situation. In Alabama, for example, there is a statute (Ala. Code § 3-1-5) that requires dog owners to confine their dogs to their own property. If a dog is found running at large, the owner can be charged with a misdemeanor and fined between two and fifty dollars. However, this statute may not apply in certain cities or counties unless adopted by local authorities.
