Hi Joan Cox 

Wanna come live in my neighborhood?

All dogs on leashes when outside

All dogs must have a city license and wear it or it must be on the owners person at all times as Officers can demand to see the metal tag or paper license at any time... and they do have officers whose only job is to stop citizens and check their animal licenses and enforce the leash laws

And by the way, cats must also be on leashes at all times or same penalties apply

First offense very expensive fine

Second offence up to 90 days in jail

Aint the dogs that are the problem...

Have a Great 2021

Happy Selling!

I'm sure there will people (and dogs) who are very happy about this change, and those that are not. Good information to share!

Hi Joan Cox - that is a large area not to allow pit bulls.  I am sure it is hard to enforce in an entire city.

Good morning Joan Cox it is sad when it's (for the most part) the owners and not the dog that is the challenge.

This is interesting information to share with area residents.

Take care, be safe and have an outstanding week.

Hi Joan... I don't know that pit bulls are prohibited in my city/county. Some subdivisions do prohibit certain breeds. One thing I noticed when we were scouting shelters last year to adopt a dog was how many pit bull mixed breeds there were waiting on a home.

I'm sure many pit bull owners appreciate your post Joan Cox !  I watch Cesar Millan on TV and his worst bite was from a labrador retriever.  That's the #1 breed that American families select as their dog.  So actually any dog can be dangerous. 

Wow Joan.  Amazing there was such a rule.  Free roaming dogs and cats are never a good idea. I hate dealing with animal droppings on my property, let alone be confronted by an unhappy free roaming dog.  

Interesting what Edmonds WA has in place as per Brad Thomsen , makes sense.

The poor bread gets a bad rap for the way some people train and treat them.  They are very protective but as in all species if abused they lash out.  That should help some people that have good pets find something closer to services in town.

That is wonderful new.  Pit Bulls, like other breeds of dogs, are a product of how they are treated.  I know many sweet Pit Bulls.

Thank you for sharing Joan Cox.

I have to admit, I don't really like seeing any dog, not on a leash running at me no matter what type it is since I don't want to get bit, haha.
