Listed below is a revised list of dog-related violations. Note one new ordinance has been added, “Bite and Run” (39a H.C.) and the enhancement of the existing ordinance dealing with proper care and feeding of a “Backyard Dog” (41.12c H.C.).
It is a misdemeanor for a dog owner to leave the scene of a dog-bite incident without the biting dog’s owner first identifying his or her self to the victim of the dog bite.
When encountering menacing or threatening behavior from any dog, Officers may immediately impound said dog if they believe the dog presents a serious threat to public safety. The dog would then be transported to Animal Care and Control where it would be held pending a vicious and dangerous hearing.
