🐶🐱We love our pets, but city and county animal ordinances can be tricky, and a citation can show up when you least expect it. 😬

Common pet code violations we see:

🔸 Dog off-leash or running at large 🦮
🔸 Failure to vaccinate or register your pet 💉
🔸 Excessive barking or noise complaints 🔊
🔸 Not picking up after your pet 💩
🔸 Too many animals at one residence 🏠
🔸 Unsecured fencing or a pet that got loose 🚪
🔸 Dangerous or aggressive animal allegations 🐕⚠️

Here's what many pet owners don't realize:

⚠️ Many of these violations are criminal misdemeanors, not just fines 📄
⚠️ A “dangerous dog” designation can bring restrictions, fees, and even legal liability if someone is hurt 💰
⚠️ A neighbor's complaint can start an investigation, even without a witness 📬
⚠️ Ignoring a citation or court date can lead to a warrant ⏰

The good news? These cases often have defenses. 💪 Was your pet actually the one involved? Was the ordinance properly applied? Was there proper notice? Was your gate or fence damaged by someone else? An attorney can look at the facts and push back. ⚖️
