It is unlawful for the owner of any potentially dangerous or dangerous animal to permit such animal to go or be off the premises of the owner unless such animal is under restraint and properly muzzled so as to prevent it from injuring any person or property. Every animal deemed so dangerous that it cannot be controlled by reasonable restraints, and every potentially dangerous or dangerous animal not effectively controlled by its owner or person having charge, care or control of such animal, so that it shall not injure any person or property, is a hazard to public safety, and the director of animal services shall take any necessary enforcement actions authorized in this title to ensure the safety of the public. (Ord. 21-14, 2014)
