In the City Communication, A quarterly Newsletter for the City of Pinson Citizens, had this Code of Alabama on page 2:
Section 3-1-5 of the Code of Alabama requires dog owners to confine their dogs to their own premises. In addition, when dogs are off the premises of the owner, they must be in the care and charge (on a leash) of the owner or other person. This law applies state-wide. Owners can be prosecuted for failure to control or confine their dogs as this is a criminal offense.
In observance of the "Small Town and Downtowns" celebration, the City of Pinson is publishing a book filled with recollections of Pinson's past. This book will be available for purchase at the CityFest 2010, April 10 10am-3pm.
