Denver (CO) — leash + licensing + intact-permit requirements (city flyer)
Source: City and County of Denver — "Keep Your Dog Safe with Leashing" (denvergov.org PDF, extracted 2026-07-23). First-hand municipal text; C1 substring-verified against pdf-raw/local-ordinance/denver_leashing.pdf.txt.
Denver couples a leash rule with licensing and an intact-animal permit. Per the city: "Even gentle, well-behaved and well-trained dogs are required to remain on a leash and under the control of their owners in public spaces." The flyer also states dogs "must have current rabies and Denver dog license," and that dogs must be "spayed or neutered, or have a current Denver Intact Permit (Denver residents)." The purpose is stated as: "leash laws are intended to protect the health and safety of all people and pets that enjoy our city's parks and open areas."
This covers the Denver "leash + license + intact permit" question — a hybrid sub-topic of local pet ordinances, distinct from NYC (leash-only), Seattle (count limit), Tacoma (licensing + unaltered limit), and Pompano Beach (anti-tethering).
