Dangerous Dog: Who they are and what you can do
A declaration of Dangerous Dog is made by a Harris County Justice of the Peace. A Dangerous Dog is defined as a dog that:
- Makes an unprovoked attack on a person that causes bodily injury and occurs in a place other than an enclosure in which the dog was being kept and that was reasonably certain to prevent the dog from leaving the enclosure on its own
OR
- Commits unprovoked acts in a place other than an enclosure in which the dog was being kept and that was reasonably certain to prevent the dog from leaving the enclosure on its own and those acts cause a person to reasonably believe that the dog will attack and cause bodily injury to that person.
Fort Bend County Animal Services has created a program to take care of our most vulnerable population, our neonatals. We offer fosters who would like to care for these newborn to 4 week old babies supportive care, food, crates, heating pads, etc. For more information, please contact the shelter.
