(A) A dangerous animal that has been declared as such shall be spayed or neutered and implanted with a microchip identification number by a licensed veterinarian within 30 days after such declaration. The cost of both procedures is the responsibility of the owner of the dangerous animal. Written proof of both procedures and the microchip identification number shall be provided to the animal control authority after the procedures are completed.
(B) No owner of a dangerous animal shall permit the animal to go beyond the property of the owner unless the animal is restrained securely by a chain or leash.
(C) Except as provided in division (D) of this section or for a reasonable veterinary purpose, no owner of a dangerous animal shall transport such animal or permit such animal to be transported to another county, city, or village in this state.
(D) An owner of a dangerous animal may transport such animal or permit such animal to be transported to another county, city, or village in this state for the purpose of permanent relocation of the owner if the owner has obtained written permission prior to such relocation from the animal control authority of the county, city, or village in which the owner resides and from the county, city, or village in which the owner will reside. Each animal control authority may grant such permission based upon a reasonable evaluation of both the owner and the animal, including if the owner has complied with the laws of this state and of the county, city, or village in which he or she resides with regard to dangerous animals after it was declared dangerous. An animal control authority shall not grant permission under this section if the county, city, or village has an ordinance or resolution prohibiting the relocation of dangerous animals. After the permanent relocation, the animal control authority of the county, city, or village in which the owner resides shall monitor the owner and such animal for a period of at least 30 days but not to exceed 90 days to ensure the owner's compliance with the laws of this state and of such county, city, or village with regard to dangerous animals. Nothing in this division shall permit the rescindment of the declaration of dangerous animal.
