It shall be the purpose of this title to provide standards and procedures for responsible care and ownership of dogs and other domestic animals within the unincorporated areas of Bonner County. This chapter does not address all aspects of animal ownership, rather, it establishes some minimum standards for animal care, control and treatment in the interest of public safety and animal welfare. The responsibility for actions and behavior of domestic animals remains with the owner. (Ord. 248, 8-2-1994)
