and duties contained in § 114 of the Agriculture and Markets
Law.[1]

Editor's Note: Section was renumbered in 2010; see now § 113
of the Agriculture and Markets Law.
A.
No dog shall be permitted to run at large within the Village of Camillus,
New York, without being restrained by a leash, cord or chain not longer
than six feet in length and attached to a fixed, immovable object
or held by a person of sufficient size, strength and ability to effectively
control the movements of such dog.
B.
No unspayed female dog in season shall be permitted to be outside
a building or a fenced enclosure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, a dog which is lawfully
on the land of the owner or upon lands of another with permission
of the owner of the land, and is accompanied by the owner or other
responsible person and is responsive to the command of such person,
may run unleashed while engaged in hunting or training, but not within
500 feet from a dwelling house, farm building or farm structure actually
occupied or used, school building, school playground or occupied factory
or church. [See Subdivision 4a(2) of Environmental Conservation Law § 11-0931.]
It shall be a violation of this chapter for any person to interfere
with the performance of the duties of the Animal Control Officer or
any person authorized to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
Each dog which has been seized while running at large shall
be held for a period of five days after the date of seizure, during
which period the dog may be redeemed by its owner, provided that such
owner produces proof that the dog has been licensed and has been identified
pursuant to provision of law, and further that the owner pays the
impoundment fees as set from time to time by the Village Board or,
if none, then by the Town Board.
Any person who violates this article or knowingly permits the
violation of this article or any of its provisions shall be liable
to a fine for all convictions under this section, shall be subject
to a fine of $25 for the first offense, $50 for the second offense
and $75 for any subsequent offense within five years.
