Pets must be leashed in city

The Cloquet police department and city administrator Aaron Reeves recently clarified that owners must leash pets, although actual stray animals are not a violation.

Section 8.2.06 of the city code notes that: “No owner or keeper of any dog shall negligently or intentionally permit the animal to run at large, as that term is defined in Subd. 10 of Section 8.1.01, within the City of Cloquet.”

The police department reminded citizens to keep their pets on a leash and get them microchipped in case they do get loose.
