Are you looking for Yorkshire Terrier puppies for sale in South Dakota? Are you moving to South Dakota with your dog? If you're looking to become a South Dakota dog owner, then there are a few state, county and local requirements to be aware of before you bring home your new puppy.

No. As of January 2020, South Dakota does not have a law requiring dogs to wear seat belts or be secured within the vehicle during transportation. However, current legislation gives South Dakota law enforcement the power to ticket a driver should they deem the transportation of an animal to be cruel or unsafe. 

Regardless of state law, it’s best to keep dogs restrained and out of the front seat. Dogs who insist on climbing into the front seat should be placed in the back, in a crate. If your dog’s crate doesn’t fit in the car, you should invest in a barrier to keep them out of the front seat.
