How it works

Logan Lake's Animal Control and Impoundment Bylaw 893 defines a dangerous dog as any dog that has killed or injured a person or domestic animal, or that the Animal Control Officer has reasonable grounds to believe is likely to kill or seriously injure a person (for example, a known tendency to attack without provocation, a menacing unprovoked approach, or dog fighting). The officer may designate an aggressive dog if it bites a human or animal without provocation, has a known propensity to attack, or was previously designated. The officer may apply to Provincial Court for an order to destroy a dangerous dog. A bite on someone trespassing or teasing the dog does not make it dangerous.

Steps

1. Report to the Bylaw Enforcement/Animal Control Officer (bylaw@loganlake.ca or 250-318-4964), the Municipal Office (250-523-6225 or info@loganlake.ca) or the online bylaw complaint form.
2. Give your name, address and phone number; anonymous complaints are not accepted.
3. For an emergency after hours, call 250-523-6274.

Good to know

• Owners must make sure whoever has care of the dog is competent to restrain it. The bylaw has no muzzle, enclosure, sign or handler-age rules that we could find.
• A dog that bites a person must go to the pound or to a veterinarian's supervision for 14 days at the owner's expense, unless the veterinarian recommends an earlier release in writing.
• Keeping a vicious dog, animal or wild animal is a $200 ticket; so is a dog attack, and so is removing an animal from the pound.
• A court may also fine $250 to $2,000 on summary conviction.
