Dogs are prohibited from being removed from apartments and from the territories of private houses, it is forbidden to remove them from a leash in public places.

Recently, reports of stray dogs attacking people, including children, have been received from many Russian cities, towns and regions. In some regions, in connection with this, an emergency mode of local response has been introduced. The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation proposed to develop criteria for “unmotivated aggression” of stray dogs to determine which dogs should not be returned to the streets after sterilization and vaccination. The department explained that the absence of such criteria prevents the adoption of “prompt measures” in relation to those dogs that pose a danger to people.
