A. Every dangerous animal, as determined by the Animal Care Services Commission, shall be restrained by the owner within a building or secure enclosure, as recommended by an Animal Care Services Manager, and shall be physically confined and securely muzzled or caged whenever off the premises of the owner.
B. Every dangerous animal shall be spayed or neutered and micro-chipped at the owner's expense within thirty (30) days from being declared dangerous.
C. Every owner of a dangerous animal must report the following within twenty-four hours: the death of the dangerous animal; change in owner's place of primary residence; change in location where the dangerous animal is kept, boarded or otherwise held; ownership has been transferred including name, address and telephone number of the new owner and location of the dangerous animal.
D. A list of any animals declared dangerous by the Animal Care Services Commission will be maintained by Animal Care Services and may be made available to the public, both upon request and on Animal Care Service's official website. That list may include, but not be limited to, the description of the animal and the known location of where the animal is kept.
E. In determining the dangerousness of an animal, the Animal Care Services Commission may require the owner to submit his/her animal for evaluation by Animal Care Services. Failure by the owner to submit the animal for such an evaluation will result in the animal being conclusively determined to be dangerous by the Animal Care Services Commission.
