§90.006 ANIMAL CARE AND MISTREATMENT.

(A)   Every owner or other person responsible for an animal, including those harboring any animal located within the city, shall ensure that the animal:

[…]

(4)   Is brought into a temperature-controlled facility when the temperature is at or below 32°F or above 85°F unless the animal is in the presence of a competent adult;

(5)   Does not remain tethered or chained for any given 24-hour period. In essence, a dog may not live its life on a chain. Dogs must have shelter from the elements while tied out. No animal shall be tethered by use of a choke collar or any collar too small for the size and age of the animal or by any rope, chain, or cord attached directly to the animal’s neck or such unreasonable weight as to prevent the animal from moving about freely. All tethers must have a swivel on both ends;
