§ 391.01 Purpose and Intent.
It is the intent of the city to protect the public against the health and safety risks posed by dangerous and potentially dangerous dogs. By their very nature, dogs classified as “dangerous” or “potentially dangerous” pose a direct threat to the people and other animals that live in the same community or may otherwise come into contact with them. The intent of this section is to govern and control dangerous and potentially dangerous dogs located within the city. This section does not regulate, govern, or control dogs not considered dangerous or potentially dangerous, or otherwise impact the regulation and control of other animals, whether wild or domestic.
