I found this when I did a search on St Mary's animal control:
*********************************************
ANIMAL AT LARGE
A. It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership or corporation to allow their animal to be at
large.
B. This section shall not apply to a dog undergoing supervised obedience training or while
actually engaged in the sport of hunting in an authorized area while supervised by a
competent person possessing a valid hunting license.
C. Without permission of the proper authority, the owner, custodian or keeper of any animal
may not permit the animal to be on public or private school grounds on a day and time when
school is in session or in a public recreation area unless:
(1) The animal is controlled by a leash or similar restraining device as defined under
definitions of restraints.
(2) The presence of the animal is in an organized activity such as a dog show.
D. No animal accidentally at large with a person in immediate pursuit shall be deemed at large.
E. A person who is aware of an animal being at large or who finds a stray animal shall report
the condition to Animal Control.

at large may pursue that animal on public and/or private property.
G. The Animal Warden or designee is authorized and directed, whenever possible, to seize and
impound any animal running at large. When not able to catch an animal running at large and when all other
reasonable options have been exhausted and, if in judgment of the Animal Warden or designee the animal is deemed
a threat to public safety the animal may be shot or killed.
