If people call and report an illegal dog, we will investigate that, and impound the animal when we find it. |
It's difficult on staff and it's difficult on the public to realize there are some healthy adoptable animals that are being sacrificed to meet the requirements this ordinance sets forth. |
They do have a propensity for inflicting very serious bites if they do bite. |
They will need to permanently remove their dogs from the city limits. |
They've got until 6:30pm (Tuesday), Wednesday morning we start enforcement of the ban. |
This entire ordinance is completely based on physical appearance. |
Unfortunately, there were no witnesses and there's very little evidence. |
We had 10 to 15 in the lobby at any one time, but the dogs were very well behaved and their owners had them in control. |
We know that the people who took time to obtain the licenses are owners who take their dogs to obedience training and keep them in control. |
