“Hey, Jo, Does Lewis County have a leash law for dogs?”

Yes. The leash law in Tennessee for Lewis County and City mandates that pet dogs must always be under the control of the owners and are not permitted to roam freely.

While dogs can be off-leash on their owner’s property, they must not wander onto someone else’s property, streets, or public areas.

An exception to this rule applies when dogs are engaged in legal hunting or herding activities. The intent of the law is to protect the health and safety of the public as well as the well-being of your pet.

Remember to spay and neuter your pets!

Until next time...Stay curious and keep smiling. -Jo
