This ordinance <br />mainly pertains to dogs <br />within the City. There are <br />several major changes that <br />residents should be aware <br />of. <br />First, the City of Hugo no <br />longer requires dog li- <br />censes. This will save resi- <br />dents time and money, <br />however, it is still required <br />for your dog to wear identi- <br />fication and have proper <br />vaccinations. <br />The second major change is <br />that "potentially dangerous <br />dogs" are now allowed in <br />the City of Hugo. <br />"Dangerous Dogs," by defi- <br />nition, are still prohibited. <br />Before this change, if a <br />resident's dog had an inci- <br />dent with another dog or a <br />person, and was deemed <br />potentially dangerous, it <br />would not be allowed to <br />remain in the City of <br />Hugo. Potential dangerous <br />dogs are now subject to <br />further restrictions includ- <br />ing proper enclosure and <br />leashing requirements but <br />are allowed in the City. <br />Other changes to the ordi- <br />nance include how the Ani- <br />mal Control Authority and <br />the City of Hugo respond to <br />dog bite incidents. These <br />changes include vaccina- <br />tions, impounding, noticing <br />requirements, and hearing <br />and appeal procedures. <br />These changes will help <br />staff deal with dog inci- <br />dents more efficiently. <br />To obtain a copy of the Ani - <br />
