It shall be the responsibility of each owner of any dog kept or harbored within the city and determined to be a dangerous or potentially dangerous dog under this section, court order, state statute, designation from the Animal Control Authority, or a substantially similar ordinance from another jurisdiction, to ensure that a microchip is implanted in the dog for identification. The name of the microchip manufacturer and identification number of the microchip must be provided to the Animal Control Authority.
