A. Any dog observed running at large, or any female dog in heat, uncontrolled, chasing motor vehicles, causing garbage or trash to be dispersed, or in any way causing alarm or harassment to a person shall be considered a nuisance. The owner of the dog will be contacted and issued a written warning to control the dog. If the owner is contacted a second time for his/her dog being a nuisance, he/she will be fined fifty dollars ($50.00) and advised that since the dog cannot be controlled it is to be physically restrained. If after the owner has been advised to restrain the dog it is seen at large the dog will be destroyed upon officer's discretion.
B. Any dog(s) running in a pack of three or more, will be determined to be a nuisance dog(s). Any dog(s) seen in a pack may be destroyed on site, without prior contact of the dog's owner, upon discretion of the enforcement officer.
