It shall be unlawful for any owner or keeper to permit any animal, excluding cats, to be running at large within the county. An owner or keeper is deemed to have permitted the animal to run at large if a condition exists that the owner or keeper was, or should have been aware of that would allow the animal to run at large; and, as specifically concerns dogs, if the owner or keeper allows the dog(s) to be off of visible leash on county-owned park and other real property, except in a designated, contained area.
