The City of Findlay has adopted an ordinance regulating animal noise.

The ordinance passed by Findlay City Council states: “no owner, keeper or harborer of an animal shall permit or suffer such an animal to continuously bark, howl or emit other audible sounds which create excessive or offensive noise to the annoyance or discomfort of any person of ordinary sensibilities in the vicinity of such animal.”

Someone found to be in violation of the ordinance would be guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
