Please note Lamar
County has codes
against barking
dogs, roaming dogs,
unvaccinated dogs,
regulations about
animals in heat, and
so on. If anyone
tells you there are
no regulations like
“leash laws”, noise
ordinances, or that
“dogs just bark”,
they don’t know what
they are talking
about.

current rabies tags
