Council says community will be safer with new rules
City leaders in Verona have taken steps to protect citizens from vicious dogs by passing an ordinance that gives law enforcement and animal control officers some teeth when dealing with animal attacks.
Under the new ordinance approved Monday, any dog, which unprovoked, that has caused severe or fatal injury to a person may be classified as dangerous. Also, any dog with a known propensity, tendency or disposition to attack unprovoked, may be deemed dangerous.
This is the second time the council has considered a dangerous dog ordinance. A similar ordinance was voted down in August 2020.
