Help Support "Jackson's Law"

Under %u201CJackson%u2019s Law%u201D :
Jackson%u2019s Law will protect those who cannot protect themselves.

**Any dog that kills another dog under this law will be deemed a dangerous animal.

** The dog must be removed from the premises and evaluated. (while under evaluation the owners will be responsible for paying any fees associated with the upkeep while in county custody)

**The owners must attend mandatory dog training and handling classes before obtaining their dog .

** There will be a fine and the funds will be given directly to the Humane Society and/or Animal Control.

** The dog must pass a Canine Good Citizenship Test.

** Owners are required to have the dog evaluated by a vet for possible physical causes for aggressive behavior and if treatable, must treat any issues.

We also feel that these changes will help financially support the Animal Control offices and the Humane Society, so that instead of costing taxpayers money, the fines, etc. will go back to the very organizations that are out there every day trying to make a difference but are understaffed and over worked.
